Rosa had insisted that the only
way to ventilate the room was to
leave the hall door ajar. And now
through that open door came a
sound Of dragging, ascending
step.
The step we heard going by
was Jim's.
And Rosa was staring at me
with laughter in her eyes.
At the sound of the familiar,
dragging step going by her door,
Rosa cooked her head on one side

It seemed to me that Ramon
flashed a curious glance at Rosa.
