I got up, and said, “I’m waiting for Lucille. She’s dressing. She told me to wait here.”

That calmed her down. “But how did you get in?”

“Lucille brought me in through the side door.”

“Through the side door?”

I nodded.

“I didn’t hear anything.”

I said, “You were reading a book and you were completely hypnotized by it.”

“I was reading, but I wasn’t... well…”

I said, “Lucille motioned me to silence and put me in here. She said she wanted to change.”

“I can’t understand her putting you in here. This is my bedroom.”
