Punctuation
Now I'll have the truth out of you, Val Berners, if I have to beat it out. Whose is this money? Val
began to redden,"Someone dropped their purse", "That's another lie" said mum. "Where's the
purse then", Val saw that he had been silly to mention the purse, "I threw it away" he said." And
that's another lie" said mum, who was by now very angry. Indeed angry and horrified to find out
that her son was a thief, she grabbed hold of Val crying "You give me that purse at once!". Val
fought and struggled to get away from her but mum held on tight, " I won't, I can't!" , he sobbed
for he could not let go his only chance of a bike. " Where did you hide it?" mum shook him hard,
"If you don't tell me I'll go to the police and have you put away!". When at last he confessed it
was under his matress, mum marched striaght to the bed and drew out the purse the line of her
mouth was grim. "You're a thief, a dirty little sneaking thief!"she cried out and slapped him
across the cheek, "Your grandpa and grandma would die of shame if they knew what you'd done"
, "Dad and me brought you up honest, we never cheated anyone in our lives and now look at you,
dirty low cheat!". Mum suddenly collapsed, the anger died out of her and she sank into a chair
and began to sob bitterly.
