We don’t have a lot of time.’ The manor house is quite impressive. Lisa’s cottage is modern, but I’d guess the manor house goes back a century...or two. As we were walking in it was a little overwhelming for someone like me. I couldn’t imagine growing up in a house like this. Lisa introduced me to her parents, ‘Mother and Father, I’d like you to meet Arthur Jones. He’s the gentleman from America who’s working with our group in the laboratory.’ I stuck out my hand and said, ‘I’m glad to meet you. But he was kind of cute…I went up to him first….’Care for a piece’ I batted my eyes and bent so that there was a gap in my blouse. I could feel their eyes on my ass as well…. He stammered a little…’Uh….you mean pizza? Yeah…sure….’ Good. thhe tough guy was off his game, we had the advantage. Betty and I brought out more pizza, served some soda….made some polite talk….and after a few rounds, met in the kitchen. Betty looked at me…and said what we were both thinking…. ‘Are you as turned on as I. If you want more than five thousand head, the price will come down a little.”Tom, Yolanda, and I were all using the coffee cups to hide the smiles on our faces at Anna’s starting price. I didn’t know what figure she had decided on, so we all waited with amusement as the conversation continued on.“Mrs. McAllister, you can’t be serious. That’s much too high a price for cattle in today’s market. I can pay much lower prices here, and even lower prices in Mexico if I should go there.”“Captain, you. X addresses.With everything organised for delivery tomorrow I head to Dad’s to get my boxes of gear to move them to my new residence. I intend to hit Mel, Joan, and Candy with a fait accompli. If I ask, Mel will find objections. After putting my fifteen boxes into the girls’ bedroom I check the bills and pay the overdue utilities over the phone. Later I’ll talk to Mel about the rest before taking any action on paying them out.Just because I look at not spending any money I don’t need to spend.
