In this short story, ”The Guilt”, we meet an elderly lady, Lilian Thurgood. She lives together with her two Alsatians in a house. Lilian does not have a husband, and I suppose Lilans husband is dead or they are divorced.

One day Lilian was picking guavas. Suddenly she could hear her dogs growl on the stoep. She wondered and creeped to the other side of the house. A black man (William Sidlayi) was standing at the other side of the gate. He was looking after some work. At first Lilian gave him five-rand coin. The five-rand coin were the only money (hun kunne være bekendt at give ham.) ???

Lilian realized that the black man was difficult to get rid off. He was begging for work. In the end Lilian let him clean up the leaves as he begged for and leaved him alone out in the garden.

William came into the house, when he was finish working in the garden; he said he had worked for ten rand. Lilian was speechless and offended. It could not be true that he demanded more money. The strange man was giving Lilian creep and she was felling panic, she took her purse and searched for ten-rand, she just wanted to get rid of him. She could not handle it any more and commanded the dogs to attract him. William was screaming, when the dogs assaulted him, Lilian was threaten him to call to the police, and at last she went to the bedroom, took her pistol, pointed at William and commanded him out off the house. Lilian was shocked and stunned and in the evening she cried her self in to sleep.
