Quote #10
Cassandra had unearthed treasures from her collections and strewn them about the rooms, hoping to stimulate the children's appetite for plunder. Each day, she had hoped for their arrival, only to be disappointed. Then that morning, she had awakened knowing that the children were on their way. (29.17)
