This is the second short from the collection that I've read, and I really like Andrew Bliss. I don't want to say anything to spoil this short story - read with caution.Ethel is a 78 year old, trying to adjust to life without her husband Wilfred. She is lonely, but, she'll chat with his picture on lonely lights. Not that she is crazy or senile, but, chatting with his picture helps her to not feel so alone.When a burglar comes in, they surprise each other! He thought the house was empty, she just didn't hear him.  She tries to talk to him, a little 'get to know you' conversation, but, the burglar wants nothing to do with it! He just wants to get what little valuables he can find, and get away from that unforgettable, embarrassing door !
