Summary:
Trouble has struck for Miranda’s family. Miranda’s water and stopped working just as she was washing her mother’s bedpan. Miranda told Matt who was mad that Miranda hadn’t told him immediately. Matt said, “You should have told me right away! If the pipes are frozen I might have been able to do something.” Only the pipes weren’t frozen. The well ran out of water they could've used. Matt suggested since the well had run of water, they should just conserve the oil and move into the sunroom with their mother. Miranda didn’t feel very supportive of that. The author wrote, “No! I won’t!” Her mother, (Laura) came to a compromise and said, “Tomorrow morning, we’ll bring the mattresses in then.”
Character Analysis
Mrs. Nesbitt is an caring, old woman. When she calls Miranda over to discuss something, she ends up telling Miranda that when she dies, whenever that may be, that Miranda should not be scared to come and take stuff that she needs from her house. “Now after I’m gone, go through the house and take everything you can possibly use.” She says. She also tells Miranda to take two paintings for Matt and Jonny. She says,” Matt’s to have the painting of the sailboats because he always liked that when he was little, and Jonny should have the landscape in the dining room.”
