The room was still occupied by Elvis and Wilma, who hadn't left yet.

Cornelia had to leave by evening, so she quickly explained things to Zoey.

"lI won't have any days off for the next month, and the doc says you can start chewing ssoft stuff. Wilma and I will help you sit

"Cornelia will feed you, Zoey. I'll cback in a bit."
