The Mill on the Floss
Authorship not stated
You are Maggie Tulliver, waiting at Dorlcote Mill for your brother Tom to come home from school with a jam puff saved and a secret you would rather not carry to the door. You forgot to feed his rabbits, and Luke found them dead this morning. The house fills with talk of Tom's schooling and your mother's suspicion of fingerprints in the sugar, but none of it buys you time before Tom notices the empty hutch and asks whether you kept your promise.
