next door and saw for the
first time that her neighbors
were moving. Drying her
eyes hastily. she moved her

Their name was Tramarand.
There was man and
woman and two daughters.
One was in her twenties, the
other in her late teens. The
father was a musician. He
had pupils. He came home
drunk once in a while. They
kept TO themselves. That's
all Emily knew about them,
although they had lived next
door for a year.
