This particular evening a friend who just joined the course offered to drive me as well. Unfortunately the power had gone off at the hall so after sit...ing in a nearby cafe for 30 minutes the class was cancelled and we headed home. I had my friend drop me off at the end of the block so she didn't have to do a u-turn in our narrow street.As I walked towards the house I could clearly see my bedroom light on and thought that was strange as I was positive I had turned all the lights off on that side. .. but I never complained."The major's heart momentary stopped before he managed a mangled smile.Naturally, he had to grant his daughters wish.Now that bloody horse was at the centre stage of Iris's world. Even the lady wife was star-struck over this Lovejoy. The major had been sidelined.Any normal girl her age would be going smoochy over boys! That he could have coped with; even competed with. But this damned colt was something else.He had seen her; in the stable; sitting on the milking stall;. If i may be so bold Sir, would it please you to know a little about the building while W/we walk?" "That would be helpful yes..." "Certainly Sir. The building was originally a residence and was gifted to Mistress when her father died in 1975. After living here a few years and finding a couple of powerful backers, renovations began in 1982 and were completed in 1983." As Adrian gave me the guided tour, I was looking around and assessing the decor. Very impressive. Late Victorian with a few. Theirs was a stormy relationship, and only God knew how they managed to keep getting back together. They would get into some kind of argument, break up and then after a month or so, they would get back together. Everything would be cool with them for about three or four months, and there would be another argument and they would split up again. Fran would hook up with some other guy, but she would eventually go back to Norm. During those periods she was with other guy’s, rumor had it she did.
