An old friend of mine came to stay with us for a fortnight and Ratna seemed to take quite a shine to him. Two days before he was due to leave us he br...ught home a present for Ratna. It was a very see-through nightie in black silk. She was thrilled with her present and jokingly I suggested that she put it on and model it for us, adding that I’d take some photos. To my sheer amazement, she agreed and disappeared into the bedroom. I couldn’t believe that she would go through with it, but I set up. ”Chuck and I stood back and took in them going back and forth. I figured it was harmless fun if they were talking about me with me within hearing distance. I smiled when the other girls checked out Chuck. I might have to protect him before the night was over.The two cousins put me in between them, and we began our trek to the party. It amused me when they each grabbed a hand. Jocelyn looked down and then up at me.“How big are your hands?” she asked.“Ten inches,” I said.At one of the football. It seemed as if that was all these people knew.i not so adventourous did not find the conversation intresting. i wanted to leave.but even then i stayed on.all the couples and howards other single freinds -3 guys ,4hot sexy gals,left by 11 pm.it was only me and howard in the bar. howard askedhaving a good time? ,i shooked my head in approval.i WAS DRUNK After the beer howard had ordered some whisky for me and even poured me some champagne,which one of the guys had bought. now i was dead drunk. Tim told Pat it was one of the few things that was. Pat told him to use it to haul the scrap.Two weekends later Pat drove to the auction in a cold rain, Crystal was with hin. Both were dressed in seaman's rain gear. The auctioneer and his crew were under a shed. Rain was coming down so hard the parking lot was not visible.Promptly at ten the auction started. Pat bid ten dollars for a clamshell bucket, he was the only bidder and bought it. There were three dragline buckets next, Pat bought them.
