The afternoon before the departure for the holiday arrived and with all their bedding and suitcases there was a lot to pack in. Unloading their car we...just put everything piled up by my campervan and went in for a chat and refreshments. They were going to be travelling to the first destination by train and I was going to drive and meet them there. Hence why I had all their luggage at my house.We had planned up our start times and route and they both headed for home. After they were out of sight. Now forthe application of the first coat of polish. Jim didn't know this about apedicure, so he was startled when she took a bottle of clear and startedto apply it to his toes. I signaled to him to just wait. This was thebase coat. After ten toes were prepared with the base coat, Jim's breathcaught as the first swipe of color flowed from the silken brush onto histoe.Yes, he had polish applied by me, but this was different, This was aprofessional doing the job. She was applying a pink polish to. Her momma was a'octaroon, beautiful woman, and," he said as he grabbed the other young girl and spun her about, "this is Violet, an' her dam were a high-yeller mulatto, yessir, a fine piece she was, too. Hated t'sell her." How old are they?" I asked, not knowing what else to say. The girls were barely nubile, their bare young breasts no bigger than a fist and their hips quite boyish, but their skin was as white as mine and their hair was curly orange. They were both pretty girls, barely five. "Fancy a coffee?"Well, no he didn't, but Stan could see that Elizabeth wanted to talk to him more privately. So he acquiesced.Elizabeth strode elegantly in front of him into the canteen and picked a table. As usual, there were a couple of people there but it was mostly empty. Stan picked up two coffees and sat with her."Our secret's out, you said?" Stan began. "Elaine told me. Hers too. I don't really mind, but I don't know about Denise, and I know Anne didn't want it to come out, at least, not.
