There had not been anything inviting in the house she had left that morning to tempt her to take even a bite. But a quick glance at the somber window across the gloomy room showed her that dusk was already descending. She was dog weary and had eaten nothing all day, hoping to be finished and get out to find a boarding place before dark.
