Lilian Thurgood in ”The Guilt”.

Lilian Thurgood is an elderly woman who is Caucasian. Lilian is a pensioner and a widow. She lives in South Africa. It seems that Lilian and her husband was wealthy or certainly not poor but now she lives on a pensioners fee which is not a lot. She now lives in what used to be their shared home. It’s seems to be a rather big house almost close to a small mansion. The reason to why I assume that, is that the house is fenced in with a ten feet tall wall with the only entrance being a grilled gate.
Lilian is cautious and with good reason. It’s a known fact that there has been rivalry and racism in South Africa when it comes to Caucasians and the native Africans. Not only is the entire house sheltered from the outside world. She also has two dogs to protect her. Her now deceased husband trained them himself and taught them special commands.
Lilian often gets approached by the natives. They beg her to give them money, clothes or to give them some work so they can earn some money. At times they even ring her bell by the gate at all hours. It annoys her but then again her conscience tells her to not ignore it. Had her husband still been alive he would have told them to go away. One day a man named William shows up at the gate.. after at bit convincing he manages to get Lilian to first give him money and then let him in the gate to work for the money. Her phone rings and she goes to answer. In the meantime her mind wanders off and starts imagining all the things that could happen and even remembers where her husband kept the revolver. When she picks up the phone no-one’s there. When she turns back around William has entered the house and is now claiming even more money. Lilian feels threatened and gets the dogs to attack him.. while the dogs holds William down Lilian goes and gets the revolver. Long story short Lilian manages to get William out of the property. Afterwards she is slightly surprised that she was actually capable of standing up and defending herself.
