She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.

She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.

There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.

She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.

She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.

There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.

Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.

When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “Free, free, free!” The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.

She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion as trivial.

Sandra was not in a good mood. The first night in a new house was always hard, but that wasn’t the worst of it. She had just found out that she would have to share her bedroom with her new stepsister, Reyna. In her old house, Sandra had been the only child. She hadn’t had to share anything with anybody—and she liked it that way. But now her mother had married Reyna’s father, and everything was different. Sandra’s mind was a knot of worries and fears.

Sandra’s mother stepped into the bedroom. She saw Sandra seated on the bed, staring sadly at the floor. “Sandra, I was hoping we could talk about Reyna. You know that she’s transferring to your middle school from her old one, and it’s hard to meet new people. Why don’t you help her by introducing her to your friends?”

Sandra looked at her mother in disbelief. “First I have to share my room, and now I have to share my friends?”

Her mother smiled gently. “Now, Sandra, it won’t be that bad. It might even be fun! You and Reyna are almost exactly the same age, so you have a lot in common. You can stay up late talking about school, and you can share your books. You might end up loving it!”

“I doubt it,” Sandra replied curtly. “She’ll just take my stuff, mess it up, and get in my way. She probably even snores.”

At this moment she heard a loud snort from the doorway, followed by a series of giggles. To her embarrassment, she realized that Reyna had heard the entire conversation from just outside the door!

“Nobody’s ever accused me of snoring before,” said Reyna, coming into the room and sitting on the bed across from Sandra’s. “Besides, I bet you snore even louder than I do. After all, your nose is bigger.”

Sandra opened her mouth to make an angry retort, but then she looked up and saw Reyna’s eyes twinkling. Tentatively, she smiled at Reyna’s joke.

“I brought you a muffin from the kitchen,” said Reyna, extending her hand. “I figured we’d better eat well today, since we’ll be having lunch in the school cafeteria tomorrow.”

“The food isn’t really that bad at my school,” replied Sandra. “Tomorrow is spaghetti day, and it’s usually OK. If you want, you could sit with my friends at lunch.”

“I’d love to,” said Reyna, with a pleased grin.

“I’ll leave you two alone,” said Sandra’s mother, smiling and closing the bedroom door behind her.
