 It must have been pretty dreary because Rhoda fell asleep. She woke with a start. She smelled smoke. Her nightgown was on fire. She tried to tear it off, but the heavy material wouldn't tear. Screaming, she threw herself on the bed, rolling in a blanket. Fortunately, that stopped the flames, but it didn't save her from severe burns. The burns took a long time to heal, and Rhoda was left with some very ugly scars.
