Sleeping during the day tends to induce confusion. I awoke that afternoon feeling quite young and wretched, sure that I'd slept right through my birthday and therefore received no worthwhile presents, on top of which Mum had gone missing, I had hunted for her through the woods of Ferndell in the rain, and now my knickerbockers were wet but I needed to meet my brothers at the train station -- my brothers! No wonder I felt so frantic. I had never met them. I wanted them to find my mother, but also I did very much want them to like me. I must not wear knickerbockers, my hair dreadfully needed washing, all my white frocks had grass stains on them, and what if I couldn't make it to the train station in time on my bicycle --
