She was simply asked to pay for her bed and supper beforehand , and then she was taken in and fed and sheltered . On the next morning she got up very late and was unwilling to leave the house . She paid for her breakfast , and , as she was not told to go her way , she sat on the chair in which she had been placed , without speaking , almost without moving , till late in the afternoon .
