A Weekend at Kingham Chapter 19 - Clarissa is Initiated Clarissa was on time in her large black Rover. I was ordered to the front passenger seat, so that Mom and Nanny and boys could play in the back. It took forever in Friday traffic to get out of central London, but the autoroute moved along.

Drey Alfred and his wife Lucy crossed their home's threshold with relief. Shoulders heavy with exhaustion, they slouched as they removed their coats.
