The Narrator:
The burden of her flesh had made it long since impossible to go up and down stairs. So, with characteristic independence, she had established herself on the ground floor of her house. From a sitting room, there was an unexpected vista of her bedroom. Her visitors were startled and fascinated by the foreignness of this arrangement - which recalled scenes in French fiction. This was how women with lovers lived in the wicked old societies.
