Question

Why did kezia tell Alice the cook about her fear

Answer 1

Kezia’s father was a figure of fear for her. She avoided him. Before going to work, he would come to her. He would give her a casual kiss. But when he went, Kezia would feel a great relief.

One day Kezia’s grandmother told her that her father’s birthday was next week. She suggested to Kezia to make him a pin-cushion of yellow silk. So Kezia made a pin-cushion for father. She needed something to stuff the pin-cushion. So she gathered a few sheets of fine paper and put them into it. These sheets belonged to her father. They had an important speech which he was to deliver.
