Practically Perfect
“It had been enormous fun getting everything finished together but there were several things that Anna needed to do without the accompaniment of chat and laughter. The bath had to be boxed in and the tongue-and-groove panelling fitted, and then painted.

She spent most of the day up the...re, calling down to Caroline from time to time and taking her out often.

She found herself very pleased to see him, possibly because she’d been alone all day and had become accustomed to company.MoreLess
