Chapter XII
* * * * * I sat up in bed. It was morning, the sun was streaming in the window brightly and the fresh morning air of Spring stirred the curtains gently. It was quite warm and the smell that came in from the outside was alive with newborn greenery. It felt good just to be alive. The hanging bottles and festoons of rubber hose were gone.
