Excerpt from: The Mill Edwin Arlington Robinson The miller's wife had waited long, The tea was cold, the fire was dead; And there might yet be nothing wrong In how he went and what he said: "There are no millers any more," 5 Was all that she had heard him say; And he had lingered at the door So long that it seemed yesterday. Sick with a fear that had no form She knew that she was there at last; 10 And in the mill there was a warm And mealy fragrance of the past. What else there was would only seem To say again what he had meant; And what was hanging from a beam 15 Would not have heeded where she went. Which line in the first or second stanza indicates that the miller's wife suspects something has happened? A) And he had lingered at the door B) so long that it seemed yesterday C) the tea was cold, the fire was dead D) And there might yet be nothing wrong
