Helen waved at Arland. He took a step into the room, but the lees swarmed him, pushing him out into the hallway. “You left her alone!” “People were mean to her.” “She was sad!” Maud glanced at Nuan Cee. He smiled at her. Arland looked at her above the lees, a pained look on his face, and raised his arms in mock surrender.
