She wondered how that was possible. There had been no problem in
the elevator. Why should this apartment be in shadow? She looked around
and tried to decide where the utilidor spar would enter the apartment.
Probably the bathroom with the plumbing, since there were no service
panels in the kitchen. She stepped through the living room to the bathroom
and slid the door closed. The bathroom was a tiny ceramic vault that Nancy

The consumer page of NancyтАЩs houseputer appeared over the mirror.
Zoranna poked through its various menus and found nothing unusual. She
