Did Franny tell you about her and Gavin's problem?"…
““Did Franny tell you about her and Gavin's problem?" "Yes,I'm afraid I pried if out of her. You know that was a good idea you gave her. Too bad it didn't work." "It didn't? Criminey, he must be made of stone!" "She wasn't entirely without success. She got a rise out of him, that's for sure." Willow grinned at Miriam's unintended pun. The older woman pursed her lips by way of reprimand and continued. "Seems Franny jumped in bed with him in her natural state and he flew out the other side of the bed." "Then what happened?" "He threw his clothes on and left the room for safer territory, I guess." "Damn! Sorry," Willow apologized for her lapse. "But I did mean damn. Darn just isn't strong enough to describe this here situation. Did you ever hear the like?" "No,but perhaps we can think on it during your visit. Right now, we better get rolling before your father-" "Woman,ain't you ready to leave yet?" Owen yelled through the door. "Oh,hush up, you ole bad of wind," Miriam called back.””
