Helen ran downstairs to the kitchen.
Finding the broth in a glass jar in the
refrigerator, carefully she measured
out a cupful in a small enamel stew

While it was heating, she could not
help notice that the stove was not
over-clean. The burners and drip
pan underneath were charred and
greasy from repeated boiling-overs.
Instead of the shining spotlessness
that she expected of Carries kitchen,
things were neither very orderly nor
very clean. But this. was only be-
