Most of my group left, but I stayed on, buoyed by my good performance on the day. I began to notice that four women at a nearby table had also stayed ...n, were chatting animatedly, with frequent glances in my direction. With very few of my friends left at our table, I was thinking of leaving, when one of the guys who were clearing the tables, approached holding a glass of champagne."The ladies over there would like you to join them so that they can congratulate you in person" he announced,. Janette wanted to argue that she hadn’t done anything wrong yet because she had not been told how her mistress expected her to show her the necessary respect. However, she knew her place and her mistress had full authority over her and so stayed silent.Madison and Catherine both saw the concern on Janette’s face and smiled to themselves but kept a stern look as Madison placed the ruler on Janette’s left palm. She glared at Janette as she raised her hand and brought the ruler down on the maid’s. "Donna told me that after I'd left, MANY people had told her that I should join their club, and her girlfriends would like to meet me again. They were even more eager than before, after seeing me run around in a circle so impressively.I chatted casually with Donna, a bit about my soccer game today, but mostly about what had happened at her Club to try to get a sense of whether she'd mentioned my marathon to anyone. She seemed guiltless, which was great.Carol came into Donna's room, letting me. Maybe it was the fact that these were all but her own walls surrounding her by now that kept grinding on her defense.Them leaning against the wall next to each other with his arm around her didn’t help the slightest bit either, and when she felt Craig pulling her a little closer she let her head rest on his shoulder.When he spoke Sarah was overcome by a slight shiver that she could not attribute to the nonexistent wind in the calmest of summer nights.“Is it just me or are we just trying to.
