A Squirrel?" But maybe that's just me. Curiouser and curiouser on tonights meetings. I can’t hear the word “quarrel” without imagining Red Straw responding, “Wha?

Glenda needed to be quite noticeable, not just for her size. Sounds like she is. Thanks for sticking with this one! One Wink - I hope I can keep up the intriguiness.

Thanks for sticking with this one!

I've said this clumsily, but I think you know what I'm getting at. < Oh, look, I ended a sentence with a preposition. ;-P All this popularity Bernice is experiencing is making [what got her from] the girl she once was to the woman she is now, all the more intriguing.

We'll see, now won't we? Simon - I hoped the tennis couple would represent the average person's reaction to homelessness in general. As long as you don't know that person or his or her story, it's much easier to just not get involved. Jeff's manner of speaking is covered in the related reading links. I won't say more to keep from being a spoiler for my own work. I'm one step ahead of you on Bernie's state of filth and what's she's going to do about it. But, it might be a couple chapters away yet.

It's always easier to do nothing than intervene in something you know nothing about. I know that from experience. I bet that's a sentiment most every reader here will be able to relate to. Jeff seems very proper, doesn't he? It sounded odd to have him call her soul pure, but I think you did a good job of making him sound different... well, more British. Strikes me as a gallant gentleman at first go. Now if Bernie could just find some way to get all clean and shiny for her two dates! I was very much struck by the sentiment of the tennis couple.

I'm wondering now if Glenda will be there tonight, and what this big meeting is.. (reunion?) Good post…. I’m wondering now if Glenda will be there tonight, and what this big meeting is.. (reunion?)
