The next few weeks were rather like a blur for Kit. Each day she woke up around seven AM and prepared breakfast for
her aunt and uncle, as well as for Mercy. They breakfasted together, and the working day began. Each day, she would help Aunt Rachel with
chores in the kitchen, and then she would help Mercy to teach her small home school.
It was a tedious routine, but Kit knew
that after she had gone to Barbados, she would miss this routine very much; it
was comforting to her. Besides, she
needed to keep her routine as normal as possible; no one could know that she
was planning to go back to the place of her childhood. As dearly as she loved her relatives, she
would not tell them.
In the meantime, Kit made preparations to return to Barbados. She found out that there would be a vessel traveling there and that she could pay her passage by selling her dresses. With this knowledge, Kit soon found a tailor in a nearby town who gladly bought the dresses from her for a rather high price. Kit would be supplied with enough money for the trip and for when she first arrived in Barbados. She was now ready to execute her plan as soon as the vessel left. She would only have to wait another week.
