We walked down the stairs silently, him about a step or two in front of me. It seemed like days until we got to the bottom floor (where the Basement B...an is) and still silent walked in. He went straight up and ordered a black coffee. I then placed my order and he walked away to find a table. I fixed my coffee and began to scan the area for him. I couldn’t see him. So many thoughts ripped through my head. Had I actually imagined that he asked me to come with him? Did I dream this? Was he. " Like what- like a person?", I replied."Yes- like a person. To them, I am just a beast, no better than any of those donkeys, and less than a cow, which is sacred."I was angry now, as I couldn't understand.

"Slowdown", she ordered, "that's tickling my foot". He didn't reply,but did as she wanted and slowed his brushing down and also stopped pushing thebrush hard against the leather."Thatsbetter.

Adam stopped brushing and looked up at her withbig blue eyes, checking her reaction..

Look, here is a diet sheet," she passed me a printed sheet with a list of meals and foods. "Get Branca to look at this. You have to get Branca to help. This is going to be difficult Daphne. Maybe more difficult than anything you have done. You need all the help you can get. If Branca can, she should help."I nodded. I said that Branca was quite good at doing.
