So I simply follow hiswhishes so far." She stopped and looked at me again. The expression wasundecipherable again, amusement, contempt, anger, compass...on? I simplycouldn't tell!She turned to Tania and continued, "But there will be a moment that Iwill start imposing my own rules. I still thing about them. He wants tobe a housekeeper or from what I see in front of me today a housemaid,then he will be a proper one. Rules will have to follow. And of course ifhe is willing he can have a makeover.. I tried again with the same result before giving up in frustration and moving on to the next house.The same thing occurred there, and I continued on, but no longer took the time and effort to clear the snow from the steps. It was the same at each house. I was unable to move more than two steps onto any of the porches and always found myself at the bottom of the steps. I finally gave up and went to look for Owen at the rear of the houses. I found him just approaching the back of the last house. Matty is from Brazil and her husband is a bartender on board the ship. We talked and laughed and she once sat her drinks on a table and danced with me. I was getting a little tipsy and Peg and John had disappeared . I was looking around for them when Matty came up and said I think they ditched you laughing and said I get off in a half hour if you are interested. Jake wont get off until around two so we can do what your wife and John are doing if you want. I was feeling bold but I was. "Problem?" the lady asked. "My kids have my purse," I said as I tried to find my phone. "Which also has my phone." "I can hold it for you while you…" the lady started to say. "Add it to mine," Ned said as he looked at her. "No, I can't," I said as I looked at him. "Yes, you can," Ned said. "There is an atm outside, you can pay me back, instead of holding up the line." I looked back at the line. I could see the angry faces on all of the people. I was sure the kids were already sitting down.
