So I did some serious stretching and jogged up and down a bit and then threw a few times in the bullpen with the taciturn Enos, backing up as far as I...could so I was tossing at about 75 or 80 feet. When the lineups were announced, there was my name, right at the end of the list, batting ninth just as God and Abner Doubleday had intended. (Don't get me going on Doubleday who might have been a good artillery man but probably did not know beans about baseball.)Anyhow, I had not started a big. She had her hat off, her strawberry-blond hair pulled back in a tight, low bun. The uniform gave her a boyish figure but I could tell that was just due to the cut. There was a strong athletic woman wearing all that blue. My body understood that, too, and another burst of desire flooded through me.Though there were two chairs the officer and I could use, neither of us sat down. I didn't expect to stay long and she remained standing, probably to look as intimidating as possible. After what I had. I took it down, dusted it off some, put in a new flint, cocked the rusty thing and pulled the trigger. It seemed to work so I cleaned out the touch hole, loaded it with one of my balls, almost the right size with a double patch. Now we had four weapons ready if we had visitors."I'm going to bed," she said, blowing out the candles. "You can bunk near the fire." She handed me an old quilt and smiled. I couldn't tell if she was fifteen or thirty-five. She was very plain and not very big, but she. "Uuuuuh" moaned Arthur with pain, then he started choking with trying toscream and fell to the floor rolling over and clawing at the collar.The he was silent, he had passed out."You see how cleaver your Friend is," Beth was beaming at the successfuldemonstration "you don't touch the button to shock him, he does ithimself with his voice, in fact every time he makes a noise. You won'tbe surprised to know that Mistresses that are our customers have thequietest sissies of anyone." That's.
