Two Flights Up
“Bayne was up before seven o’clock that morning. She got out of bed in her cold room, lowered the window, and then put a match to the fire Holly had laid ready the night before. In front of this she placed a pitcher of water to warm, and having done so, crawled back into bed again.

She thought she could manage. … She dropped her list and fell into deep thought.MoreLess
