Each of your personalities, strengths, and weaknesses fit perfectly with mine. You both accepted me, trusted me and I the both of you. Of course I’l... let you be my guides and my support. How and when do we begin?”Julie leaned into me and gave me a most romantic kiss.“Jerry Ranthom, you’ve become very important to Hanna and me. More than anything we still want you to be part of our lives and we part of yours joining us in becoming a family, We both do love you and have for a while,” Julie. She tried to speak but couldn't. Babs laughed. "I followed you," she said, "and saw the whole thing. Good show!"Now it was Nell's turn to laugh. As the others returned, Babs put a finger to her lips. It was to be their little secret. Babs's folks were now coming back from the pond where they had been out in a row-boat. They looked tanned and younger than their forty-eight years, friendly and healthy as ever. Their names were Roy and Tessie McDougald. Both had been just kids when they had gotten. Lisa, when she thought no one was looking, even gave a discreet 'Black Panther' salute to Robert and Sam.By common accord, all the campers joined up in the center of the quad between the cabins before continuing onward toward the dining hall.

Your see, sir, after a day making my living with my tools I return home and relax in a way that might perplex a man of the 19th century such as yourself.

I doubt you ever considered doing this yourself, but as a man in the retail business I'm sure your philosophy is "the customer is always right". At least your sales staff has always been glad to sell me.
