It was Saturday evening and I laid out on the sofa watching tv with Madison and Brooke. We had decided to have a bit of a girly get together without a...y men to bother us as we hadn't had a good get together since leaving school. So after getting a few bottles of booze, ordering some food and renting a few good chick flicks we had settled down to get well and truly sloshed. I was lying along the sofa with Madison and Brooke sitting on the floor leaning back against the sofa. From where I was. That Philip, in the absence of his estranged wife had for all purposes moved a girl young enough to be his daughter into his home didn’t seem to be as much of an issue. True, he hadn’t been that public about it, but still some people knew.

It's really hard for me."Karen nodded. "Do you want me to go back to Ensley?"I said, "The only thing that's changed is our level of personal involvement. I think it's time for us to move on. I hope you can continue here in Mobile, and I'll have Thornton title the condo to you. I'm sorry. You are free to get on with your life and find someone special. I expect you to call if you ever need help. I don't anticipate any problems at the Register or stations." We hugged and I left.I hadn't handled. Oh, well, it was nice meeting Jonas' friends. They returned to the hotel and went to bed.Anna was fascinated by Ethel's underwear. Her breasts were not as large as Ethel's, but she did get tired of them swinging around unfettered. As for the underpants, she could immediately see the utility of them, so she decided to make a set of underwear for herself.Ethel returned home with Anna and Jonas that evening. There Ethel met Anna's mother, Hester, and her brother, Adam. Ethel found both of them to.
