Outside, an early spring rain tapped a pleasing rhythm on the window pane while Elizabeth nestled in her favorite easy chair by
the fireplace. The hearth was stone cold, as it hadn’t been used in months, but it still comforted her just to sit near it. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, the light within the room grew dim, and Elizabeth reached up to turn on her reading lamp. The mystery novel she’d been reading was a gripping tale of dastardly capers. It was so engrossing that the day had passed almost without her notice.

Gradually, she became aware of the refrigerator’s hum and the ticking of the wall clock, the gentle sounds she could always count on, like good friends. Read this sentence from the passage above.
