The doctor found It would not be necessary to send Bee to a hospital If he had someone to be with him for a few weeks. When they explained their need to Parthenle, she led them to a large living room where there Was a wide bench and several old rocking chairs around a huge fireplace. "What a comfy room," thought the doctor. "All it needs is people." He did not know that Parthenle had refused to marry Ike in front of that very fireplace, and had never told him why. When the doctor had departed, Dee wondered whether he were an awakened Rip Van Winkle. Parthenle had brought some of her beautifully light bread with some honey from her own hives.
