THE ROOF




Trhough the window: on the roof.
"We stood to one side of the roof, beside one of the two odd towers." (the same page as familiarity)

One of the two odd towers: on the roof.
"We edged along the black stone line at the peak of the roof, hunched low for stability.""The tower was square and narrow, three or four times my height"

Distrust: on the roof.
"We might have been there forever, and perhaps we were destined to be."END

Familiarity: on the roof.
"We stood to one side of the roof, beside one of the two odd towers." (the same page as throught the window)

Rest awhile: on the roof.
"Andrew was lost, to a fate unknown, and we were perched atop a house which held only evil for us, but somehow we had peace.""It hadn't rained like this for years."
"We were ready to stay there for ever.
And nothing burns in the rain." END

Burn anything: on the roof, it supposed.
"For some reason I felt the inside pocket of my sodden jacket. There was a box of matches there, the old Swan kind with a white bird on a red background. I don’t smoke. I’d bought them weeks ago for candles at home." (no continue)
