Marian stood enclosed by a bed, a washstand and a chair;
the tiny room had altogether too much furniture. Everything
smelled wet-even the bare floor. She held on to the back
of the chair, which was wicker and felt soft and damp. Her
heart beat more and more slowly, her hands got colder and
colder, and she could not hear whether the old women
were saying anything or not. She could not see them very
clearly. How dark it was! The window shade was down, and
the only door was shut. Marian looked at the ceiling.... It
was like being caught in a robbers' cave, just before one
was murdered.
"Did you come to be our little girl for a while?" the first
robber asked.
Then something was snatched from Marian's hand-the
little potted plant.
