Luke, full of his great news, ran upstairs to his mother's room, with / the letter from London in his hands.
He found her crouching over the fire in the big horsehair chair, the / only armchair in the room. He was surprised that she did not look round / at the sound of his footsteps and give him her usual smile of welcome. / Instead, she stretched out her hand to him with averted eyes.
