I made sure myskirt was demurely arranged! It was an enjoyable evening's entertainmentand we were even more relaxed after a glass of wine at the inter...val. But,of course, as far as my mother-in-law was concerned, another part of theentertainment was to follow.When the show was broadcast on television I was surprised just how muchof the time the cameras were on the audience. And there seemed to havebeen a camera watching our particular row of seats for a lot of the time.Apart from remarks such as. We have to unpack our stuff and after that I want to go to the beach. You can come with me and maybe we will continue our little chat.”‭After some minutes in which Sarah tried to convince me to show the toys to her we continued our work.‭We finished everything and got ready for the beach but mom told us that lunch would be ready soon so we changed our plans and went to our Jacuzzi. Sarah wore a nice black swimsuit and I chose a light blue monokini. As soon we got in, Sarah started to chat. The punch had done a pretty good job of that. Reginald and Keith were both ‘escorted’ to different areas of the hospital to cool down by hospital security. Everyone had forgotten about Pat in the scuffle, which is what she wanted.

Ricky had never known another cook orhousekeeper. Even when Hilda had taken vacations -- as she was doingnow for a few weeks -- they'd hired temporary cooks and housekeepers.The only reason Alicia hadn't hired a temporary servant this time wasthat she hadn't gotten around.
