Hmm. Now that you mention it, it is quite strange...I've never thought about it before. Why, I can't even remember Grandmother having ever lived anywhere else.

[She frowns. Why in the world would someone build their home in a forest inhabited with vicious wolves and bears? Thinking about it is making her feel strange for reasons she can't quite pin down. At his suggestion, she starts searching with a bit more urgency.]

What a fine idea! Perhaps she's left a letter or note of some kind. Everything still seems like it's in order, so I can't imagine she left in much of a hurry...
