Mercifully, John had been sick for two of the three days of Thanksgiving week, giving her reprieve from both his presence and the machinations of Katy Pfister, who was always less active on days when he was not around. She could not analyse what was stirring in her: the thought of losing the doll, the dog, and the cat.
