They pulled up in front of the hotel. Susan had never seen a hotel. It was nighttime so it was all lit up.
"How beautiful. I wan to live here forever," Susan said out loud.
Frank told her, "It's too expensive to live here more than a few nights."
Edie and Susan lived there for a month, at the expense of Edie's dad. He went to Florida for the winter as he did every winter.
They had to walk around to the back entrance because of the steps out front and go through the kitchen to the lobby. Susan's head was moving all around as she was walking looking at everything. So much to see. Look at all the food in the kitchen! I am hungry, she thought. Oh, look at the lobby. (She heard a man call the room they were standing in.) It was the most beautiful thing she ever saw. They went up to a big desk and talked to some people and then a black man took them to an elevator. Susan was afraid and said she was not going to get in that thing. It took some persuading but finally she got in the elevator. The room was on the tenth floor.
