We had a little chat in his room and I straightened him out. Told him he'd better watch his step from now on, else I'd tell his wife how he'd been cha...ing after a gorgeous young girl at work, buying her presents and stuff. And I'd tell the whole office about how I'd been teasing and leading him on just for a giggle. Make him a laughing stock around the place. He soon got the picture even though he's theoretically my boss.What we agreed was he could carry on in his job but that from now on he'd. Thenshe saw a pretty broach in the suitcase. She took it and pinned it tothe suit coat. "There. Perfect."William wanted to protest, but he didn't see the point. He wasn't goingto win; he held none of the cards. "Fine," he said. "Let me lookthrough the suitcase for some underwear and then we can go." You don't need underwear."William furrowed his brow again. "Say what?" You don't need panties." Yes, I do." No, you don't. No one will see them." It's not them I'm worried about. It's it. Now...Now, she knew this was life. This was all she, her husband, her children, would ever have. There was no going back. They would live, and die, here.Dying was not on the agenda."Here!"Whirling, she tossed the heavy weapon to Anthony. He grabbed it from the air, briefly dropping the butt to the ground as he finished belting on a pistol belt. Hannah took a belt of ammo from a peg, tossed it on like a sash, grabbing the remaining weapon down."Ammo!" She turned, tossing a second sash to her. They were about forty centimetres long and about thesame wide, made from painted silk stretched over a fine wire frame. Thesheer silk had been dyed in a swirling pattern of pink, white and silverwhorls, with a scattering of sparkling diamantes here and there.Emma clapped her hands in delight. "Oh my! They're beautiful! I thinkthey'll do fine!" The rapt expression on Daphne's face told her thesissy was in complete agreement with Nanny's observation. Beth grinnedas she recorded everything. Nanny.
