You could see the lake-dotted fertile plains of southern Sligo, east Mayo, and Rosecommon Counties. You could also see part of the Bricklieve Mountain... and a portion of the Carrowkeel burial site. We bypassed the initial sixteen caves at the north end of the mountain and went up a slope to three other caves.The entrance to the Otherworld, known locally as the Water Gallery, was just opening when we arrived, and a number of Masters and a few Senior Masters emerged to go to the regular testing. I was going to pay cash. In the time I'd been working for Frank, I'd saved thousands and I wasn’t yet eighteen.As a married woman, Annie's wages went up to ten pounds a week. Nancy said they'd be increased to fifteen when she turned eighteen. We both worked hard but, to be honest, we loved what we were doing.My rates had stayed the same, but Frank hired me out with the crane and he paid me twenty pounds a day when I was on hire. Some days I worked twelve hours or more, but my bank balance was. Annie had another two or three encounters with the guy (at least I assume it was him), but she didn’t invite me along for any of them. So I guess she’ll have to be the one to tell those stories.In August we went away to college. We were both enrolled at the same large, midwestern university, and we were both living in the dorms. Dorm life didn’t end up agreeing with either of us. If nothing else, there was next to no privacy in those places. We had enough trouble sneaking quickies in between. Then she turned and left. I took the lift to the restaurant and met Diana, we ate our meals having whispered small talk. Diana asked how the maid found my undies, so I told her.After our meal we had a coffee,"Shall we go up to your room and read through the papers from today" I asked."Good idea, lead the way." We signed the bill for our meal and took the lift up. We entered the room and we were alone. "You had better finish dressing" Diana said. She added "I love the dress, is it new?" Yes,.
