"Rose's reaction actually surprised Ed a bit. He looked at John and madesure that he held eye contact with with his former-friend-current-wardand spok... seriously. "You do realize that this is a one way street,Bebe, right? Once they snip it off, they can't sew it back on." Oh, God, Ed!" Rose scolded her lover as she ran her fingers overJohn's soft, long hair. "Don't be so crass! You knew this day wascoming. Now, support your niece. She doesn't need any nay-sayers aroundher right now."Ed looked. I thought the Captain was going to laugh himself to death.”I shook my head and nudged Sam to get her back to writing. When she finished, I gave it to Belet, “If you can get it copied, one goes to the duke and the other to Jonathan.”I looked at Mona, “the exam needs to be at noon.”She grinned and nodded and I picked up the artifacts. After leaving Sam and I crossed to a table outside the inn. There were workers setting up tables everywhere, I looked up when one of the serving girls stopped. I had no reason to suspect anything, but I thought it would be great to see what happens in the house during the day while I’m at work. I put the teddy bear up on a bookshelf that overlooked the family room. After a few weeks of watching the kids run around, I noticed something interesting when the lawn mower guys showed up in the morning. She took three cans of Pepsi out to the guys. There was one tall black guy and two Mexicans. After they mowed, the tall black guy came in the house. I could. "With a bit of amateur psychoanalysis," she said. "I thought, first of all, it's natural that a young woman should want a man, and second, it's also natural that a lovely kind man like James should be on my mind when he's suffered a family tragedy and needs my help. So, I thought, these two perfectly natural things must have got somehow jumbled up in my brain. But really, they're quite separate so I'll deal with them separately and everything will be all right. So when I got to work I got busy.
