I follow Googles directions to the address that Ally had given me. Up in the mountains, overlooking Lake Tahoe, there is an iron gate. I pull up to th... speaker box, give them my name and magically the gate opens. I drive up the drive to a huge estate, I feel conspicuous in my old jeep as I drive up to the parking area next to the portico. I am met by someone."Good afternoon Sir. Miss Ally asked me to escort you to the library. Please follow me."The library is the size of my house, which is not. In any other era the first question would be, "Where am I?" or "Who are you?" But instead, for this generation, its "Where's my phone?" "It got broken in the crash," the old lady explained. "Where are my clothes?" I asked."They were covered in snow and cold and frozen, so we are thawing them out and washing them." She answered. "You're lucky an elf was chasing an escaped reindeer and found you or you'd be dead by now, dear." Elf?" I asked dumbfounded. "Reindeer?" Why yes, dear, you're at. It was comfortable and fun to wear, especially when my skirtswung prettily around my hips. The school's letter said I could bringtwo of my own outfits for the rare days when I didn't have to wear auniform. Dresses or skirts and blouses only - no trousers, shorts, yogapants, jeans or tees. I packed two vintage-looking dresses and acrinoline petticoat in addition to all my other gear.Nana warned me I would have to make a full court curtsy to a largeaudience the night I arrived. She wanted to show. When she finished, she stretched out on the lounger face down to toast her back, buttocks and legs. Tom looked up at the blue, Missouri sky for a moment, squinted, shook his head and looked back at the woman. Four plus years of almost perfect celibacy stirred in his blue trunks, pressing them outward under the water. His hand trembled for a moment as it longed to console him with this unexpected bounty of the eyes. She gave no indication she saw him in the water, and it was tempting to use this.
