The room also contains an empty open fireplace, before which sits a well-worn rug.
Ada sidles over to it, places a chunk of meat on the hearth, where it might be appreciated.
The meat odor is stronger now, reminds Ada of damp clothing.
In the fireplace, the charred remains of ribbons of all colors repose like corpses in a mass grave.
A cleansing of spirits, an attempt at penance, though a failure.
There is still some remorse here in the house of the witch.
For the first time since setting out, Ada is surprised.
But, adjusting her satchel on her shoulder, she moves towards a door that is growing in size between two of the bookshelves.
Once large enough for her to fit through, Ada opens it and marches on.
A dirt path.
The forest runs parallel to this path, and the crows line the trees.
Above, far above, as if forgotten, the wooden beams and the tightly wound straw of the ceiling stretch on, yawning like the trees.
Ada knows she remains inside the house of the witch.
She marches on, staying within the borders of the path.
Gorse and buttercups flank the way, Aromic and bright.
Among the trees, Beyond the grasping fingers of light,
Well-fed, but ever wanting more, the creature saunters in step with Ada.
Around it, the trees are indistinct, those formerly thudding paws soundless.
Still, it prowls.
Ada sees the trees curve around, forming a nook within which a single chair is placed upon the grass.
