There was another officer present, a rear-admiral, whom Tony did not know. Captain Masters, sitting next to Tony, enlightened him.“That’s Sir Wins...on Keller. He just recently received his flag, same time as Fanning. I fear he will be Cotton’s second-in-command.”“Fear?”“He’s old school, and a Bible thumper to boot, if the stories are true. The title’s a baronetcy, passed down to him from his grandfather. I doubt he ever fought any action. I know him from Plymouth where he commanded a receiving. You might have the neighbor drop the key off here for me to be able to have it when I need it.”“Thanks, I know Arlene will be glad to hear what you just said and pleased that you will see that the repair is done. Do you know her?”“I know who she is but I have never met her. That being said, have you thought about my invitation for dinner?”Pushing back a little from her desk she said, “Will you please close the door.”He did close the door and wondered why she had asked him to do it.Paul could. They are fussy and nervous women, I knew them before my brother did and it was because of me that they met. But, they are very nervous in traffic and the sheer volume of traffic in this area would have them frantic within days, even as passengers."She stepped around to the side and continued combing up and trimming hair as we talked. Leaning close so her voice wouldn't carry to the other seats she said very low, "You know, I've never been in a foursome before, nor a three-way for that matter.". “I know. You’re right,” she accepts, trying to rid the boy of his guilt.“I didn’t mean anything by it, Anna,” he apologizes, shoulders low and expression glum.She reaches a hand out to him till he stands before her. With a gentle squeeze of his arm, she softly says, “I know. I know, John. Besides, who wants to go to some silly party anyways, hmm?” She tries to catch is downcast eyes, giving a silly smirk for him to return.“I still do,” Mary announces, making both governess and brother look to.
