This one has about four years after it and I am going to put some of that in, because Evelyn asked me to.

Delilah was in hospital for two days and had no lasting physical injury, and that is genuinely the end of the medical story, and it is the only part of this that was simple.

Emotionally it went the other way from what anybody expected.

Delilah — the one who was hurt, the one who was on the floor, the one everybody worried about — did comparatively well.

She was seven, she had been asleep for most of it, and what she mainly remembers is being on a stretcher with her sister holding her hand, which is a memory of being rescued.
