Chapter 20: A Visit Without Terms
I went upstairs and packed my suitcase before deciding to stay.
The straps fastened over the clothes Agnes had packed for a three-year success.
I put my good cardigan on top, where I could reach it.
Agnes stood beside the bed while I fastened the straps.
"Shall I call for the car?" she asked.
I looked at her.
She meant it without accusing me of wasting anything.
"Not yet," I said.
She sat down on the chair we'd used for my collapsing lesson.
It held her comfortably without the extra cushions.
"I was afraid we'd both be left behind," she admitted.
I put my gloves on top of the case.
"By whom?"
She looked at the window.
"Everybody who seemed to have decided how their lives would go."
"And the rent?" I asked.
"I shall ask our landlord about the smaller rooms," she said.
"Roderick can keep his bargain. I won't offer you again."
I looked at the rent figure she'd written on the back of our train timetable.
