I came closer and stood on the step. ‘No, I don’t know you.’ ‘I’m Mrs S’s daughter.’
She held her hand on the door as though she wanted to prevent it opening any further. Her face gave absolutely no sign of recognition. She kept staring at me in silence….

She saw that I was looking at the cardigan and half hid herself again behind the door.
