In fact, even though Patrick asked me to wash the curtains, I never thought of giving up.

Anyway, the curtains in themselves weren't dirty. I only had to wash them and hang them outside.

I spent an entire day washing two pieces of curtains roughly. Then, I carried them in my arms and hung them somewhere to dry.

It wasn't a difficult job for me. However, the water was too cold. After a day, my hands were frozen and swollen.

Maybe it was because I had suffered a lot before that such a petty thing was nothing to me.

At sunset, Tillie cooked dinner and sent it upstairs to Patrick....
