A perplexed expression swept the boy’s face. He knew the housemaid but didn’t know who ‘nanny’ was. He queried this and his aunt gestured to her housemaid. “But that’s Isabel.” David replied.
“She’s also your nanny and you shall address her as such.” his great aunt replied, before telling him to say goodbye to his mother.
“Bye Mom… I’ll see you in a few weeks.” the boy coyly smiled.
“Goodbye David.” his mother said, hugging him tightly and reminding him to be good for Aunt Martha. “I love you… more than you ever know.” she added before letting him go. “Can I write to him?” she asked her aunt.
“Of course.” Martha replied. “And David will write back, won’t you young man.”
“Sure!” the boy replied. His aunt rolled her yes and told him to go with ‘nanny’. “Hi Isabel.” the boy cheerfully said.
