In hindsight I should have been a lot more descriptive and given her the R-rated version. The following weekend I had the duty and couldn’t leave th... base. When I called Deloris, she was disappointed but told me she understood and would see me the following Friday night. When I showed up at her parents home I was met at the door by her mother. ‘Eric, why are you here? Didn’t Deloris tell you she wouldn’t be home tonight?’ Thinking there might have been a SNAFU in our communications I headed. He had a warm smile and a friendly demeanor about him and was gentlemanly in his approach even though it was obvious he was very interested in the two hot women in his drive. Holly explained the noise she was hearing, started the engine again for him, and he seemed to know right away what it was. He opened the hood and, sure enough, it was a clamp on the air filter assembly was loose. He clamped it back in place and the rattle stopped. "Thank you so much!" said Holly, relieved that it was not. We returned to the big soft towel and lay in the sun warming ourselves and catching the rays. I asked about mum and dad, as she had said she was visiting an aunt, and she explained that her parents were here in Folkestone for a holiday and she was a trainee nurse, she lived in a nurse`s home in London, and her parents lived in Nottingham, where she had been brought up, all visiting her aunt together as a summer holiday. To keep the conversation flowing I asked what she was hoping to become. The army was going to pay her for each pair she salvaged. Some of them were almost new, while others had only small holes, but some of them were beyond her. She could fix a small hole, that was easy enough, but the ones with huge threadbare patches would go into the scrap pile and get used as rags. The kids were on the bed, while she sat in the overstuffed chair.The pay wasn't much, just few pennies a pair, but they could eat free because Matt had joined up, and both he and Bobby were getting.
