Virtually the minute theyleft for the weekend, I was in my room getting ready, starting with along bath where I shaved everything I could reach. Since...they left onFriday afternoon, I was able to get out that night, and I did. I drovemyself around town, stopping only once at a drive through to get aburger. By the time I got home I was once again elated. I had madecontact with someone else while dressed as a girl! That night Iprepared myself for my most daring outing. In the morning, I was. " But she never talked to them!" I observed."She never talked to you, but she was quite talkative with anyone else, except when you were around." We walked slowly down the path that led to the church. Becky was going to be Antonia's Maid of Honour, a decision made at least fifteen years ago. Likewise Antonia had been her chief Bridesmaid when Becky married. Unfortunately Becky's husband found it difficult to give up the freedom of single life so they were divorced. We took the time as we talked. It was a beautiful night. We got back and drank more wine. Then Julie said “How about one more soak before bed?” It sounded great to me. She got up, took off her sweater and slipped right out of her dress. She was braless and was only wearing the black thong. “Follow me.” I got up and did as she instructed. She took out one big beach towel from a cabinet on the way and continued to the back door. She slid off her thong inside the house and stepped outside. I undressed right there and. In the front room, Constance, wearing a dress for the first time in many days, had heated a bucket of water over the fire. Now Charity stood naked in the small tub while Prudence and Constance washed her down with soap and damp rags.When she was done, she stepped out of the tub and stood still while Prudence dried her body and then brushed out her hair.While Prudence dried Charity, Constance took the bucket of water into the back room and set it down beside Samuel.“Come Father,” she said.
