It was drizzling outside, the rain tapping against the
window. Mrs. Langtree leaned back into
her armchair as the old record spun on its turntable. The sound that com from it was a warm sound
from the twenties, a kindly old voice warbling with a rustic tin horn
accompanying it. Outside, it was cold,
though it might get colder if the storm picked up. In here, though, the warmth was everpresent.
Mrs. Langtree pulled her blanket tighter around her as she
sipped her tea. She looked at the clock
and realized that it was half-past nine.
