Kate had been young, a buxom Irish lass who had become pregnant and was delighted to get the position of housekeeper for a handsome, young parish prie...t. She had her baby, a girl she named Bridget, and she'd remained housekeeper as the priest progressed somewhat in the hierarchy. Kate was a weekly provider of solace to the priest when he imbibed heavily of the spirit and this continued when, as a young man, he became Bishop.Bridget was thirteen when the Bishop really took not of her. I'm sure more than you realize. Once you get the hang of it it's prettyeasy to slip into a bra, panties and something cute. But just wearing theclothes doesn't make you a woman. You are currently blessed by beinginside my body, which I work long and hard at keeping healthy, fit, andattractive. There is no one in this city that could look at you and haveeven the most remote thought that you are a man. But being a woman ismuch, much more than just the clothes and the body, it's also a state. It seems that women are always happy to see another baby or infant—bless their hearts!The first stage of our trip was unusual in that we met more pirates than we expected. The first attack came on our second day on the river. This one happened at a fuel stop and began the usual way. This time it was Helen who spotted the pirates and fired the warning shot before they had time to do any harm.This battle was a little different because of the way the fuel was stacked on the dock. The pirates were. You know we love you, and we'll be here for you, nomatter what, right?" Thanks, Patrick."The rest of the drive was silent. When they finally arrived at their mother's place, Norman got out andgrabbed his bag as his brother Patrick did the same with his own bag.They went toward the door, but before they got there the door opened,and their mother came out and gave both of them a hug and a kiss on thecheek.Norman was directed to his old room, which looked remarkably like whathe remembered from.
