He recalled how they both wandered from store to store and how he delighted in the reflection of the two young girls beaming back at him from the windows.He recalled how they both wandered from store to store and how he delighted in the reflection of the two young girls beaming back at him from the windows. He also thought about how it had gotten so late and when they returned home Aunt Ruby was already home from work. Somewhat surprised at his appearance, Aunt Ruby accepted her daughters explanation of the shopping spree for the costume party and how it was necessary for Lynn to try on the gown. He even recalled how Aunt Ruby seemed to appear happy at the two of them becoming such good friends so quickly. Lynn sat at the dressing table in his apartment and let his thoughts float again to Janets expert training. He remembered how he had made such a hit at the party. In fact, no one realized he was not a girl. Janet introduced him to everyone and told all of her friends that her cousin would be living and going to school there from now on. The way he was dressed and the name his parents had given him all seemed to add to the pleasure he had that night. Aunt Ruby loved the way Lynn and Janet got along so well. She had always wanted more children, especially daughters, but had not been able to have anymore after Janet was born. She was the one that brought the suggestion up to the two when she hinted that Lynn could be enrolled in the school as a girl if he so wished. Janet and Lynn thought the idea was fantastic. Lynns name would let him get away with it, and Janet welcomed the idea of having a sister to share everything with. |
