A woman of the early 20th century, I believe this because travel by train is mentioned. (2) Peddlers crying their whares, (2) and the term Latchkey (21) are also used. The time frame is important because it leads me to believe that Louise more than likely went from being a daughter to being a wife. Louise has always been under someone else's rule so to speak.

Louise, a wife (2), is informed of her husband's death. Shocked more by the actual news than by the fact, she cries for a while and then seems to be done with it. (She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paraly

zed inability to accept its significance.)(3)

The thought of actually being able to live a life for herself, free of another's impositions had to be a wonderful revelation for Louise! For that precious moment in time, an hour, Louise was alive. (No; she was drinking in the very elixir of life, through that open window.)(18)

Can anything be more devastating than to have it all taken away from her? It would be like getting your own apartment then having to move back in with Mom and Dad cause you lost your job! Poor Louise's situation was worse. Her husband wasn't dead at all! (21)

I think that when Louise accepts that she will be free, it hits her in an almost orgasmic way! (Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.)(11)
