"So Father, are you suggesting that if she can't get through to him, that I
ask her to slug him?"  The idea actually had some appeal, she had to admit.

felt so sorry for poor Charlie.  However, there were many times when Lucy
was perfectly justified.

<<damn - don't tell on me! she spent so long drilling me on the
characters!>>

Philip laughed at that "Not exactly, no.  Julia I doubt will ha' te slug him
bu' ye could hire her out for boxing matches -- well, if Nick'll let us tha'
is."

"Think ye can eat th' cookie an' finish off th' milk so I'll stop buggin' ye
til ye do?" he nodded at each, grinning unrepentantly because he had no
inclination of letting up until she did.
