“Good for you, Reg. I hope it works,” was Stuffy’s response.As a result, after the evening meal he went to Louisa’s cell. “Fifty-nine, I wan... you to keep me company tonight in my quarters.”Her response amazed him. She lit up like a beacon. “Really, sir? Wow! All night?”He chuckled. “Really. You’ll be okay barefoot, I think.”“Yes, sir.
