It was going on for quite a few weeks now. The lady and her
husband were always talking in hushed tones, alert and looking around to ensure
no one was eavesdropping.
Being tiny has its own benefit; I can hide safely behind the
lady’s thick curtains and listen.
The quiet conversations between the kind lady and her rude
husband had increased ever since they had brought in that gagged little girl. Will
she join with the rest of us slaves or be sold off to that bearded man who had
come to look at her when they brought her home?
