74 The Funeral 18

“Not at all. I came for my uncle's funeral.”

“Hiss. Are you proud to call him your uncle? You have money to throw around,” Dora declared sarcastically. They laughed happily, and she continued, “Welcome back, all the same. How is your family?”

“My family is good.”

Now, Evans, was not happy when he saw Joe opened the gate, so, he walked out of the group while Sarah continued chatting with her relations.

“Frank,” He called out. Frank, who was behind him, appeared at once.

“Yes, uncle.”

“Good. Arrange for someone to man that gate. The children cannot do that.”

“I got it, uncle.”

“Oh my God!” Sarah screamed. Now, Evans and Frank halted and looked at her. Evans had to walk back to her when he saw her looked on in trepidation, and Frank followed.

“Oh!” Evans exclaimed when he saw the source of her fear.

“Don't panic. It came to welcome the children to their maternal homes,” Emma pointed out. Now, Sarah had moved closer to her husband, and he encouraged her, “Calm down. It won't attack.”
