Then I visited my estate’s blacksmiths. By supper, I’d drawn out and explained about a four-pronged, steel-bladed, horse-drawn wooden moldboard pl...w that would make furrows. They were stunned by the plans. To inspire them, I promised that, once they finished twenty plows, I would show them how to make steel that was much stronger than what they made now and (stainless) steel that didn’t rust.The next day I showed the bowyers my composite bow and explained how I made it. After I demonstrated it,. “A toast to my wife “Lizzy” on her fortieth birthday. I think I’ll trade her in for two twenties” I boasted. Everybody laughed. I love being the center of attention, even at my wife’s expense. “You’re not wired for two twenty, and quit calling me “Lizzy” my grampa had an old car and he called it his tin-lizzy, you make me feel like an old car” She quipped back. Everybody roared, she had one-upped me. No one does that, not even my wife. I was seething inside, but dare not show it.At that moment. Otherwise only a futon/couch could be used for sitting. A bucket nested in a metal frame like a potted plant might sit, but this held a dark green bottle of champagne. Sitting near the sliding door leading to the patio, it looked like it belonged there."Glasses in the sliding cabinet," said Beatrice pointing above the monitor while grabbing an empty fluted glass sitting on the desk. I grabbed two more empty glasses that matched hers, set them beside hers, and lifted the bottle out of the bucket. One day Jack was back and he was taking all of us to a family dinner even Tod. I cancelled at last moment and didnt go. I had planned something else. When i was at home alone, i had a friend over who helped me set up hidden cameras in Tods room, Sofias room, the bathroom and the living room. I wanted to record Sofia. Over the month i had recorded alot of footage. I found out that Tod was a kind of sadist. He would often tie up Sofia and do things to her. He still hadnt fuck her though but that.
