Jeff woke up late. The house was very quiet and Jeff understood that he was alone there. He got up and headed to the kitchen. There ___was nobody in it but he felt the delicious aroma of fresh baking. A large bowl of doughnuts was on the table. It was covered with a white kitchen towel but Jeff could not resist it and pulled out a doughnut. When he was consuming his fifth one, his grandmother appeared at the doorway. She was wearing light working trousers, a T-shirt, and an old straw hat. Jeff guessed that she had been working on her roses, in the front garden. “Fine, you have woken up at last!” said Granny, “But why are you still undressed? Go and wash and get dressed immediately!” Jeff remembered that Granny had always been very strict about the morning routine. She never allowed her grandchildren to look untidy or avoid brushing their teeth. “Ok-ok, just a second,” laughed Jeff picking up another doughnut and retreating through the other door. “I _will come back as soon as I am ready.”
