Elizabeth handed over the grain that she fed the poultry to the maid. “Roni, you’re here.”

Elizabeth couldn’t work because of her old age, so it was best for her to indulge in something to lift her mood.

“You’re right. I gotta at least do something to kill time.” Elizabeth pulled Veronica in the direction of the parlor. “Let’s go inside. It’s windy.”

Matthew, who had been there the whole time, received no attention and trailed behind them with a helpless smile.
