Ear-rings from Frankfurt
EAR-RINGS FROM FRANKFURT
Do you have any brothers or sisters? They can sometimes make your life very difficult. If they are younger than you, then they are always getting into trouble and needing your help.
And if you know something bad about a person, it is difficult to forget it. ‘Once a thief, always a thief,’ people say. But is that true? Does one mistake make a person bad for ever? Can’t people change?
Jennifer Walton is a nurse. She is quiet and careful and sensible, but she has a young brother, Richard. Richard is not careful or sensible. He is always borrowing money, he never keeps a job for long, he’s been in trouble with the police. Jennifer worries about him a lot. And when one day the police come asking questions about him, Jennifer fears the worst.
