Which example from a visit of charity slows down the pacing of the story?

<span>The example from ‘a visit of charity’ that slows down the pacing of the story is during the excerpt that reads or describes of how she wore a red coat with her yellow hair hanging down which are coming from her white cap, at the same time, all the little girls are wearing the same thing that year.

Pets are reliable friends to owners needing companionship. Doctors need to consider that a pet is most likely to lower blood pressure and stress in a patient. Pets need to suffer from lack of attention and shelters can provide homes by partnering with those that use a pet.
