Prolog 1:
I limp into the bedroom and grab up my towel, then make my way into the living room, headed for the kitchen. Then I see Lady Cranefly at the sink, starting dishwater to do the dishes. She spots me and says, "Oh! I didn't know-- " even as I scowl and turn painfully on my heel to head back into the bedroom.
She comes in a moment later to let me know she's moved the dishes out of the sink. So I get up again and go into the kitchen. I hang the towel over the door window so the neighbors can't see, then strip down and wash up as best I can in the kitchen sink. I dry off with the towel, then limp back in the bedroom and climb into bed, pulling the sheet and covers over me. I don't know why I bother, but I put on my glasses and pick up The Deer and the Cauldron II and open it to the bookmark. I read part of a sentence, but nothing is familiar. So flip back a couple pages and start there. Yes, this is vaguely familiar. I've been doing this a lot lately, backtracking ever further into the book, losing ground. Anyway, I read two sentences and realize I'm falling asleep. So I insert the bookmark and put the book and my eyeglasses aside and then I'm asleep.
