’ ‘I said I would reply sorry but I was married.’ ‘God that was better than my reply. I said sorry it was a bad time in my cycle.’ They laug...ed and Evan Foot came out to join them and immediately Freddie was called back in. He was offered the position and accepted. Mrs Moses went out to tell the other two Freddie had been offered the position and had accepted. * * * Baby face Freddie, who was pushing thirty, left the Franklin & Schmidt offices and sighed and wondered if he’d ever marry because. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.The old German Shepherd thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep shit now!”Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder if there are any more around here.”Hearing this, the young panther halts. But that was bad teaching. “If Deborah or somebody else interferes, it’s all off. No begging. And you have to provide condoms.” His puzzled look made her correct her vocabulary: “rubbers.”The word gave Greg an instant hard-on. It meant that she would go through with it.The hundred things which could have gone wrong didn’t. The drugstore clerk didn’t call the cops; he didn’t even blink. Deborah didn’t beg off so she could be with her guest. She didn’t even comment on his showering and shaving in. " Do you know about the Bacchanalia? What do you think?"Sandy glanced quickly at her sister, then back to Nikki. A deep breath. "Yes, Cindy told me everything. Or I assume everything." Cindy nodded her head. "Personally I'd have kicked someone's ass for using my sister like that. Tim's a saint." Nikki gave a tight lipped smile. Dropped her head a moment then looked at them. "Good, very good. You have no secrets. And you have her back. I'm pleased. And what are your plans?" I took a year off.
