She lives in a big, bare room in the top of an old house, clear down at the other end of the town, and the way she has made that room over to suit her needs is really wonderful.

She has one corner of it curtained off for her kitchen and has a cupboard for her dishes, what there are of them.

She cooks her meals over a little two-burner gas stove, and does her own washing and ironing.

Every spare moment she has she devotes to doing mending.

She does it beautifully, too.
