Family And Friends (2012)
“It is not that she regrets leaving this house, although it has seen her happiest times; but the house has recently witnessed an unpleasant incident which makes it uncomfortable, as though it were a witness to a life of ease which is no longer appropriate. One afternoon, Sofka has been disturbed by a sound of voices at the front door, and then by the housekeeper asking her if she will come. Sofka, surprised, has gone to the door and has seen there, standing patiently on the step, a woman who see...ms vaguely familiar. This woman is dressed in decent black, a black coat which has been very expensive in its time, a rather stylish black straw hat, and a silk scarf, in excellent taste, open at the neck. All this bears the signs of stringent upkeep, perhaps beyond the bounds of its natural life. The woman’s face is pale, expressionless, but composed; the pitiless blue eyes are direct. From a large tapestry bag at her feet, the woman produces some pieces of exquisite lace: collars, handkerchiefs, a shawl.MoreLess
