later edna raises the windows in the bedrooms, she wants to air the rooms out, soon she closes the windows to shut out the cold. then she puts up a new clean curtain in one bedroom,she sees that twins have made up the beds, but she thinks neither of them has put any clothes away for three days. in the bathroom, she finds the drain in the washbasin is pugged up,she tries to open it up with a plunger.
while she is straightening up the living room,the telephone rings,smith has called up, during the conversion, the telephone suddenly becomes silent, then edna hangs up. soon smith calls back,"i believe something cut us off", she says.
a little later edna sits down to make out a menu for dinner and to prepare a shopping list. "the family eats everything up so fast, i need to stock up sugar ,flour and eggs, this family doesn't like to do without eggs".
she doesn't dress up to go shopping, she wears ordinary clothes. she goes into a clothing store and tries on some dresses but doesn't buy any.
in the food store she picks out vegetables and carefully looks over the meat.
back home, she thinks " i liks to lie down and dozz off for a few minutes,but it's too late, i'll have time only to mix the cake before i cut up the chicken".更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
