“Back in the kitchen he looked into the cupboard and carefully sorted the random array of pots and pans. Arranged the cans labeled Flour, Sugar, Semolina, neatly in one row. Except for the one marked Flour, they were all empty...now he was rummaging inquisitively in every corner of the apartment, looking for traces of her, of her life, which he did not know.”
