As I soaked in the tub I thought of the lovely woman who would in just a few hours be presenting herself to me, her MASTER. I had first met Ashley at a dance given annually in a near-by city as a fund-raiser for a charity to which I was a frequent contributor. She was the lead singer in the band which provided the evening's entertainment, and her talents were the highlight of their contribution. |
