Perhaps, in the darkness, Ralph thinks of the other child, the child whom he killed all those years ago. But he will not say he has served his time. After all, he was little more than a child himself when he went to prison for it. He is older now and the world has moved on.
Only his ailing mother – who wishes he had been hanged – knows that he is out. She will not speak of him. Nobody wants him.
Nobody except Mary, a little girl from outside the village, who meets him one afternoon after chasing his mother's cat. Perhaps he thinks of the other child then, but there is really no connection. The other child had been beautiful, which Mary wasn't. The other child wanted everything, but Mary wants nothing except his friendship.
Everyone needs a friend. What could be the harm in that?”
