"it looks very nice," larry answered. he placed his suitcase carefully on the bed * 15. knowing herself only too well, sharon tried to act grown up. * 16. "here - if you open the widow it won't be so stuffy." opening the window gave sharon something to do with her hands, instead of holding them behind her back.
