On page 8
of my version of this book, which is the ebook, Mr Harvey instructs Susie to take her clothes
off. This, he says, is so that he can check if she is still a virgin.
Rather
than obeying him, however, the author tells us that Susie started to fight her attacker. Mr
Harvey retaliates by stuffing her hat into her mouth to stifle her pleas for freedom.
Susie did not end up entirely naked, despite Mr. Harvey ripping the pants into which
her mother had sewn a zip. While it is not made clear whether he removed her underwear, we are
told that Susie was raped before her murder. The book makes no reference to Susie's upper
garments being removed.
