The local climate lent itself to hot drinks. Maggie did not even take off her 
jacket before going into her kitchen
and putting a kettle on to boil. The place was a log cabin, airier than it 
looked from the outside, and Maggie apparently shared it with several other 
people who were not there at the moment. Fiona, walking to and from the 
bathroom, was fascinated to see evidence of men and women living and sleeping 
and bathing together.
