At the window, with her back to me, sat a woman, wearing a coral-colored cardigan sweater, with long white hair all down her back. She had a cup of tea beside her, on a table. I must

64、have made some little noise, or she sensed me behind her.she turned and saw me, and I saw her, and it was you, Clare, this was you as an old woman, in the future.
