If we would have to deal with Mister Morris, he suggested that we carry out our threat.We went into the living room. Melissa and Paul were grinning. P...ul said, “It’s not all a bed of roses being rich.”I grinned back and gave him the finger.Our classes were quiet and we ate lunch with Suzie-Q and Melissa and Paul. Karen and I each had one class after this before we would drive over to the bank in my car. We met at the car to go to the bank.Karen asked me if we ought to dress for the meeting.. Questions hit Leo and me at a mile per second as we sit, side by side, his arm tossed casually around my shoulder and my hand on his thigh. ‘Is he going on the whole trip with you?’ Kate asks from across us. She’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head and started speaking Dutch. ‘That’s the plan,’ Leo replies smoothly, before turning back to his conversation with Ivan and James. They’re discussing James Joyce, interjecting tidbits about the writing program we’re all apart of back in the. He remembered dying and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years.He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.He and the dog. There was a huge bed in the room and it was covered in black silk sheets, there was a full length mirror right across the wall at the head of the bed and another mirror at an angle from that and that was joined to another on the ceiling. The bed had big pillows on it and I was ordered to get naked and lie on it. I stripped down to my tiny red speedos, I had intended to go for a swim at the beach but lost my towel and undies somewhere so did not get there. I was reluctant to take the speedos off.
