Christopher Pratt wrote, "Blinds are often drawn for mundane reasons: to keep the sunlight from fading the furniture or drying out the plants. Traditionally, in Newfoundland, the front room blinds were also drawn when someone died or as a sign of great sadness in the house. I am not sure what's happening inside. I prefer the ambiguity; even grief is relative, ambiguous and rarely absolute."
