"May I have a lazy seat? For Richard."
"Why not mice?"
"One is enough."
"Chop chop. Richard, stay with it; she's weakening. Our knocked-up

"Thanks, Teena."
We all stood up to leave the pool. Xia stopped me, put her arms around me,
looked at me and said, quietly but loudly enough to include Hazel: "Richard,
I've seen nobility before, but not often. I'm not pregnant; it's not necessary
to marry me, I don't need or want a husband. But you're invited to honeymoon
with me any time Hazel can spare you. Or, better yet, both of you. I think
you're a shining knight. And Gretchen knows it." She kissed me emphatically.

unusual method of seduction. See how easily you fell for it? Tell her. Hazel."
"He's noble."
"See?" Xia said triumphantly.
"And he's scared silly someone will find out."
"Oh, nonsense! Let me tell about my fourth-grade teacher."
"Later, Richard. After you've had time to polish it. Richard tells
excellent bedtime stories."
"When I'm not paddling, that is. Xia, does your bottom turn pink?"
It appears that I had had breakfast at some hour past noon
