Johnny Kendy's parents were out of town at conferences, and his older sister, Betsy, was at persimmon camp, so Claire Nathan had him all to herself.

Randall Nathan hated it. He knew on whom she would turn her shear power next.

"Today it's your turn," she told him this morning. "You can't go out in public to see the senator looking like that."

"I've gone out in public like this before," said Randall.

"I know," she said. "I'm getting letters."
