Shortly after, they, i by one dozed off.Right every(prenominal)one the guard was walking down the train banging on the doors of all the compartments, go into on, succession to experience off.Tom, Harriet and William dispassionate their luggage and stepped off the train, bideing close to each other. They were checked by a tall(a) man and so led into a town dormitory.Boys on the left, girls on the right a small plump brothel keeper was hurrying the children al ong to the front of the hall where lots of adults were waiting and taking a close look at every child, quiet pleaseThe lady hence started to read out names and appointing children to a family.Harriet Mendal to Mr Magda please, and so Harriet walked head down to her wise father.A few seconds later William was forestalled out and sent to a Mrs Walner.Tom Fritz to Mr and Mrs Grundle, the lady read out and so Tom was handed over to a cross(a) looking man and a forgiving looking woman. They were a middle develop couple wearing farmers clothes that hed seen in a in the buffspaper once. howdy Tom, state Mrs Grundle smiling then turned to her save, well, say hello then JohnHello boy, well lets transmit on worldly concern take to the woods then, he didnt look at all happy about taking in Tom in.So Tom, Mrs Grundle seemed very nice, how old are you?Im , er, thirteen, he replied feeling very uncomfortable for the duration of the walk to his tonic ho engage. It would be his new hou se but definitely not his home.Soon they came to a large stone house next to a field and a predate pen.Well boy, Mr Grundle grumbled, astonish upstairs and into hunch over pronto. Mr Grundle seemed to be trying to make it very obvious to Tom that he already didnt like him.Putting this thought behind him, he followed Mrs Grundle up the stairs and into a huge live. Inside, there was a bed, a chest of drawers and a wardrobe. in that location was a lot of empty post that made the room feel crimson bigger.Here you are Tom. Mrs Grundle told him, now, breakfast will be at seven o clock. after that, youll military service John, Mr Grundle to you, on the farm until two o clock, then have lunch. Once youve destroyed your lunch youll help out with the pigs until sise o clock when you can have dinner party then go to bed at eight. I know it sounds hard work but Im certainly youll get utilize to it, sanction?Tom nodded, changed, then got into bed. It was hard an comfy and made hi m think of his mother trustworthy shadow Tom, whispered Mrs Grundle as she turned off the light then went down stairs.Tom slept very badly that night. He unplowed dreaming of his mother and the Germans dropping bombs on her house, leaving him here with Mr and Mrs Grundle for the rest of his life.He got up when the alarm clock on the drawers next to his bed read six forty-five. He got changed and walked down the stairs. He entered the kitchen and was blinded by a fulgent light coming through the window. It was a beautiful, sunny day.Whats wrong boy? Mr Grundle laughed, never seen sunlight before?Never as bright as this sir, Tom told him, its dazzling.Been in the city too long, I reckon, said Mr Grundle unhappily, while sitting down at the table, lighting a pipe and reading material the paper. A breakfast of clump and bacon was hardened out in front of him.Good morning Tom, greeted Mrs Grundle, heres your breakfast. She placed another(prenominal) home plate of bacon and egg befor e him.Thank you maam, said Tom politely.Oh nonsense giggled Mrs Grundle, please call me JoanTom put a consequence of bacon in his mouth and chewed. It was utterly delicious. It was bursting with tactile sensation and fit for a king. He savoured every mouthful. Then he turned his solicitude to the egg. He cut it like a surgeon, hoping it would be as good as the bacon. It most definitely did. The yolk melted in his mouth, it was delicious.As quickly as the pleasure had started, it stopped and Tom was no-account to see an empty plate.Right lad, boomed Mr Grundle, lets see if you can deal with a good days work, eh. Youll be begging to stop before the first hours up no doubt.Ill try my best sir, really I will, Tom still couldnt understand why Mr Grundle didnt like him.They walked extracurricular and opened the door to a large shed. Tom was amazed at how many tools and potentially dangerous things there were in there. He was passed a sythe then taken into the field and shown brie fly how to use it properly.Now, said Mr Grundle, seeing as its harvest-home time, I dont want you mucking this up. I want you cut this wheat from the bottom along these two rows, tie it up into bundles with that mountain chain next to the tractor then load it onto the wagon. Got that?Yes sir, Tom wasnt looking forward to this.For the next trinity hours Tom cut the wheat, tied it up and loaded it all onto the wagon. He was eliminate like the pigs when Mr Grundle decided he could do another row of wheat.Get your back into it boy yelled Mr Grundle at mend intervals.Finally, Tom finished and watched as Mr Grundle struggled with his tractor. He wanted to get the wheat down to his friends farm.Damn thing wont start, he wasnt pleased, come on Rusty. Oh Ill have lunch first.They went interior and sat down at the kitchen table. Mrs Grundle position a plate of sausage and egg in front of him. Tom ate it slowly.See those bombard lad? growled Mr Grundle, come from the finest chickens, t hey do.Eggs dont come from chickens, do they? asked Tom cautiously looking at the eggs disgustingly.Of course of instruction they do, laughed Mr Grundle, where do you think they come from? Werent you taught that in the city?Tom pushed by his plate as though he was scared of the eggs.Whats wrong boy? Mr Grundle shouted at Tom, wont eat? Well, Ill do something about that.Now John, dont do anything- Mrs Grundle tried to apprehension with him.You stay out of this woman Mr Grundle exploded. He dragged Tom up to his room in a fit of rage and threw him on the floor. He picked Tom up again and resuscitate him hard. Tom screamed. He was hit again, and again, and again until he was bruised all over.We admit hospitality, spat Mr Grundle, and you throw it back in our looking. You should try to be a bit more grateful Mr Grundle hit Tom one more time, then dragged him outside to the pig sty. Feed the bloody pigs, then wait out here until dinner and you will eat it Got that boy?Tom fed the p igs then waited. He stared at Mr Grundles broken down tractor and an idea arose in his head. Tom remembered that before his father had went to help with the war he had taught Tom how to delineate a broken down car. Would a tractor be the same? Maybe if he bewildered the tractor, Mr Grundle would like him. Tom would take tools. His dad had loads because he was a mechanic.Get in here boy shouted Mr Grundle from the back door.Tom ate slowly then went to bed too soon to avoid Mr Grundle and another one of his beatings.oer the next few days Tom tried as hard as he could to stay out of Mr Grundes expressive style for as long as possible. both week Tom was shown a new tool from the shed and he took a mental note of what else was in there and whether he would need it for the tractor.One night, when Mr Grundle was in the house talking to Mrs Grundle, Tom had a look under the bonnet of the tractor. there was hardly anything wrong with it, this would be an piano job. He would only need a few tools.Boy, Mr Grundle called him interior surprisingly quietly, get in here. Somethings happened.What is it sir? asked Tom anxiously.Its your parents Tom, whispered Mrs Grundle, Our father has been killed and your mothers housebombed. A direct hit. Im so sorry Tom.Tom was speechless. He felt as though he had hit in the stomach by Mr Grundle all over again. He walked outside more or less in a trance, and was violently vile in the pig pen. When he felt better, he lay on the ground looking up at the night sky. Tom didnt cry, he couldnt cry, not yet. He had just dried up and decrease away from the real world and he didnt feel as though he would ever return.Mrs Grundle opened the back door slowly and crept out to Tom, leaving her husband looking uncomfortably out of the window. bugger off on Tom, she said softly, lets get you to bed.Tom didnt know what he was doing, he just followed silently.Tom didnt leave hi room for the next two days. All of his meals were brought up to him by Mrs Grundle. Tom could finally cry, and did so , heavily.The next day, Tom awoke and felt that it was now time to take a step out of his room, go downstairs and out the door to work. He worked tirelessly without breakfast. When he was directed by Mr Grundle to collect a large bag of seeds, he slipped under his shirt a spanner, a screwdriver and a ranch. He sneaked them up to his room at lunch.What are you doing up there boy? shouted Mr Grundle impatiently, come on, lets get back to work.Coming, Tom replied and ran downstairs. Tonight was the night, he would fix that tractor.He did his work hurriedly until another dinner of eggs, that he was now get used to, then went to bed. Tom in some way kept himself awake until e was sure that Mr and Mrs Grundle were in bed. He crept outside in the dark and fixed the tractor as quickly as he could.He ran inside feeling very pleased with when he was greeted by a very red Mr Grundle.Good evening boy, he said as calmly as he could, what are y ou doing outside at this time of night?Tom stayed silent.Well boy?. Answer me Mr Grundle spat.I was fixing your tractor sir, Tom turned white as he watched Mr Grundles face burst into a mingy laugh.Oh, is that right? Well, lets have a look at your handy work then shall we? Mr Grundle dragged Tom outside into the cold night. He was placed on top of a haystack next to the tractor. Tom watched Mr Grundle get in the drivers seat and turn the key. Mr Grundles face fell when he heard a loud roar and his tractor started. He was absolutely gobsmacked. He got down off the tractor and let his hand fall on Toms shoulder.Youre a genius lad, Mr Grundles face broke into a smile, oh lad. Thank you so, so much. Come on, lets get inside and back to bed.The next day, Tom woke up, got change and bounced down the stairs with a large spring in his step.Tom, Mrs Grundle said carefully, now, because of your parents, er, well, weve been asked to take care of you, would that be okay with you? We would be h appy to take you in.Of course Joan, Tom was actually pleased to be asked to stay.You realise that you will have to stay for a long time, dont you? asked Mr Grundle, as I get older, Ill need more help on the farm, is that clear, Tom?That would be great, Tom knew he would be fine, Mr Grundle had just called him by his real name.
