the last book I ever read (Frank's Home by Richard Nelson, excerpt two)

from Frank's Home by Richard Nelson:

MIRIAM: (To Helen): Where are you living?

HELEN: (Points): Hollyhock House.

MIRIAM: Just there? (She looks at Frank, then back to Helen) That close. Do you know that seconds after Miss Barnsdall left for Europe, Frank was over there rearranging the furniture? He likes his houses lived in in a certain way.
