Now I Know Without a Shadow of a Doubt It's My Fault

The story is an account of a peculiar incident that took place on a fateful Friday evening. Mrs. Darling, a mother, had been entrusted with the responsibility of caring for her children, John and Michael, while their father was occupied elsewhere. As she went about her tasks, she came across a mysterious shadow that belonged to one of her sons. Instead of seeking help from her husband or Nana, the family's nursemaid, Mrs. Darling decided to handle the situation on her own.

With good intentions, Mrs. Darling rolled up the shadow and stored it away in a drawer, intending to tell her husband about it when he was less busy. However, as the days went by, she began to feel uneasy about keeping the secret from him. Her mind was made up when she saw how engrossed her husband was in his work, counting out winter great-coats for their sons, and she knew exactly what he would say: 'It all comes of having a dog for a nurse.'

Mrs. Darling decided to hang the shadow outside the window, hoping that its owner would come back for it without disturbing the children. Unfortunately, Nana, the nursemaid, had other ideas about what to do with the mysterious object. As John's shadow leapt out of the window, Nana closed it quickly, but not before his shadow was snapped off.

In a state of distress, Mrs. Darling ran down into the street to look for her son's body, but he was nowhere to be found. She looked up at the sky and saw what she thought was a shooting star. Her anxiety turned to anger as she growled and sprang at John, who had already leapt back through the window.

The commotion drew Nana's attention, and she entered the room, having returned from her evening out. Mrs. Darling's screams must have been like a bell ringing in Nana's ears, alerting her to the chaos that was unfolding.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Mrs. Darling is left feeling guilty about not seeking help earlier, realizing that now she knows without a shadow of a doubt that it's her fault. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of asking for assistance when needed and not trying to handle difficult situations alone.
