Good catch! You have a great eye, because I didn't even see that. Actually, there are supposed to be three periods there, to indicate her voice trailed off. Thanks! It's been fixed.

No kidding! When I first heard about that, I thought it was a joke, but they really have a dress code. I love reading about how people try to get around it. In several instances, people have tried to get in naked, just to make a point. *G*

You're right. I didn't even think about that. Katie's hair is down to her hips -- I described it a bit in the first chapter -- so she would have to pull it out of her blouse. Thanks for catching that!

Loose tea leaves are almost an unknown commodity here in the States, and very few people know how to make tea from them. Of course, not a lot of people drink hot tea, either, although it seems to be more popular lately than it used to be. I'm a lazy wench, though, and just buy Twining's Earl Grey in bags! *G*

I know what you mean! I just got a notice that my graduating class is planning its 30 year reunion! This must have been sent to me by mistake, as I rarely feel older than 20 on my worst days!

Okay, you're going to have to help me out here, since I see another language barrier. *G* What is Masupilami?

Thank you! Since this was early after her arrival in England, I thought it was important to see how confused she got over simple things. She'll acclimate fast, though. A British friend of mine said that just a short time in London is enough to "knock the foreign out of anyone." LOL!
