Last night when the fire broke out I sat here on this swing for hours and hours till Archie Lee got home, because I was scared to enter this old place by myself. Vacarro has caught this discrepancy too. silva: It musta been scary here without your husband to look after you. baby doll: I'm tellin' you!
