Why Aren't They Screaming? (1988)
“Chapter 3 Loretta woke to bright sunshine and an unfamiliar room; it took her a moment to recognize it as Imo’s bedroom, in which she had been installed the previous evening after the break-in at the cottage. She sat up in bed, wondering if the furniture, including a pretty wash-stand in one corner, had been chosen by Imo or Clara. Her watch, sitting on a small table next to the bed, showed the time as nearly eleven o’clock.
Climbing gingerly out of bed, Loretta became aware of an unaccustomed ...ache in her inner thighs – the result, presumably, of yesterday’s horse ride. She slipped on the dressing-gown – not hers – which was hanging on the back of the door, and went downstairs. Clara was sitting at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee in one hand and that morning’s Guardian in the other.
‘Just look at this, Loretta,’ she demanded without preamble. ‘Have you ever heard such nonsense? Coffee?’ she added abruptly, as Loretta took the paper from her.
‘Don’t worry, Clara, I’ll make some tea in a second.’ She drew out a chair and lowered herself as she did so.MoreLess
