Gradually the "door" into my physical body began to open and at last I fluidly
slipped into what on Earth was called ME...

– What? Were you going to leave? Are you tired of carrying this burden? Don’t
even think about it, dear. Your life will be very long. So, live!
I saw that my grandmother was very alarmed which did not happen often and I
could not understand what the reason was for that. I visited the floors almost every day
and it never caused any trouble. What could have happened to make her so nervous?

– Do you know what time it is? – Grandmother asked hardly restraining her
indignation.
I shook my head negatively. When she brought a clock right to my nose, I was
terrified – my journey had lasted FIVE HOURS!!! I never I went for a walk there for
so long! I did not quite understand why it was so bad, but judging by the way my
physical body felt it was clear that I had come very close to a line behind which
everything could have ended very badly for me. My body was unusually cold, as if I
was in a refrigerator. It did not want to obey. It did not want to get warm. Grandmother
put me into what felt like a boiling-hot bathtub (then we did not have a central heating
and heated the water on the stove), apparently preparing it before I came. My teeth
chattered from a strange internal cold and I could not speak. This strange cold became
stronger, although it seemed that everything should be vice versa. On seeing my
helpless attempts to say something, garandmother finally warmly smiled:
– All right, be silent, little traveller... But you should remember very well – when
you are alone, never go so far for a long time. If I had not backed you up, you would
be dead by now...

I felt icy tingles down my spine! How can it be? Does it mean that I could not visit
the floors for as long as I wished?! Does it mean that my body has limitations and there
is a definite period of time for which I could be out of it? But grandmother never told
me about that before!
She kept me in the very hot water for about ten minutes then wiped me dry and
put me to bed, covering me with all the blankets she could find in the house.
Nevertheless, I still felt cold...

Very soon my temperature sharply rose. It must have been very high because I
tossed about in bed, delirious. I did not remember that. My faithful grandmother told
me about everything much later. The fever and delirium lasted two days. Mother
thought that I just had a severe cold. And grandmother, naturally, kept silent about the
real reason.
Two days later the fever finally abated. I had a very good nights sleep and woke
up fresh as a daisy ready for new exploits. And then I remembered what had happened
on the floors during my unexpected "leaving" and the thought of what I might have
missed pierced my mind!

– Grandma!!! Granny dear, I have to go back there!!! – I gave a frenzied shriek.
I was so bitterly disappointed that eveything happened so foolishly! Isidora has
certainly left and now I will never know how her story ended! I will never know what
had happened to her and Caraffa! How could I miss THAT?!!!
