Chapter Ten - The Seasons Change; The Old Country Awaits

Dave walked up to Katherine's door still nervous about the evening they would 
spend together.  Her mother answered the door and, after a brief cordial 
discussion, Katherine herself came down the stairs and she and Dave left.  

Katherine's mother watched as they pulled out of the driveway.  Her heart was 
breaking for her daughter - she knew her daughter cared very deeply for Dave but 
he wouldn't or couldn't fully return that affection.  She had watched her quiet 
shy teenager blossom into a popular outgoing young woman.  Katherine had always 
lived in the shadow of her cousin Suzie but her relationship with Dave had given 
her the confidence she needed.  

Katherine's parents liked Dave very much.  He was a smart, well-mannered young 
man with clearly defined goals.  He treated Katherine with great respect and 
things went smoothly - up until his old girlfriend came back into his life.  
Even then, he was honest with her but Katherine couldn't let him go and he 
seemed to be having the same problem.  Katherine had been so happy when he 
included her in his home-coming celebration but then he didn't call and 
Katherine was again devastated.  She hoped her daughter's date with Dave would 
go well.

In the car, Katherine made small talk by asking Dave how his golf went.  He told 
her he had been hitting the ball really well - but his home course was in rough 
shape from the winter.  He mentioned that his competitive play would begin with 
the first Merit Tour tournament on the following Saturday.  He and John didn't 
have to qualify this year because of their strong finish the previous season.

Katherine asked why the course was in such rough shape.  Dave explained that 
golf courses which have to endure harsh winters sometimes get severely damaged.  
His understanding of it is that a nice thick coating of snow often acts like an 
insulator.  The past winter saw an early thaw of the snow then subsequent re-
freezes and re-thaws led to major damage to the greens.  Hornsby had rebuilt all 
their greens a half-dozen years ago and, since then, the new bent-grass greens 
had endured the winters well - but not this year.

Katherine nodded as she understood a little better but it wasn't totally clear.  
Dave noticed her slightly puzzled look but the fact was most professional greens 
keepers struggled themselves to understand why courses were damaged and he 
didn't have a clear understanding himself.

When Dave pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant, Katherine asked with a 
smile, "We're not eating at a fast food place?"

Dave replied, "No, I thought this would be nice for a change."

The restaurant was not overly fancy but the food was very good and Dave was 
hoping to have a nice long talk with Katherine in an atmosphere less hurried 
than a noisy fast-food place would be.  

After the waitress had taken their order, Dave went right to the core of what he 
wanted to say, "You've been on my mind a lot and I'd like to share my thoughts 
with you.  Katherine, I really care for you and I enjoy spending time with you.  
The truth is I haven't asked you out since we broke up because I didn't want to 
lead you on - my feelings for Jennifer have not changed.  However, that said, I 
don't want either of us to sit home every weekend alone.  John is usually dating 
someone and I don't have many other friends that I hang out with.  I asked 
Vickie out last night - it was a really stupid thing to do; I forgot how tight 
you two were.  Anyway she said no and asked why I didn't ask you out.  I thought 
you were moving on by dating other guys but she said you would rather go out 
with me.

"Katherine, this is very confusing for me so you might be as well.  What I would 
like to suggest is we date until school ends; then suspend our dating for the 
summer.  If next fall, we mutually decide to begin dating again that would be an 
option but so would both of us going our separate ways.  If you don't want to 
date now, I would totally understand and I will not pressure you.  As I said, I 
really enjoy your company and I don't want to lose your friendship."

Katherine was quiet for a few minutes as she digested what he had said; Dave 
patiently waited for her response.  Finally she replied, "Vickie called me last 
night after she talked to you.  She told me what you discussed, so I have had a 
little advance time to think about this.  You're right when you say I'm very 
confused.  I love you deeply and can't seem to move forward.  I'm not sure I 
like dating you without a long term commitment, especially when I know it will 
end in a month; however, the alternative of seeing you at school and not knowing 
how to act around you is even harder.  When you returned from Alberta and 
included me in your celebration, I thought we were getting back together.  But 
then you didn't call and I knew you hadn't changed your mind.  I too enjoy our 
time together so I guess I would like to date you until school ends."

Dave reached across the table and took Katherine's hand in his, he smiled and 
looked into her eyes, "I'm very pleased; I've missed our talks and our good 
times together."

The rest of the meal went much better as the two friends, their dating decision 
behind them, talked about mutual interests.  Dave told Katherine about his 
applying for the American Junior Golf Association and starting his scholarship 
search.  She spoke about her soccer team and how she was invited to tryout for 
the provincial under-seventeen team.  Their friendly discussions were disrupted 
when the waitress served their meal.  They both enjoyed the food and even ate 
desert before leaving for the cinema.  

The movie was a chick flick but Dave enjoyed the closeness with Katherine under 
his arm.  He even cried a little during the sappy ending.  After the show they 
drove around town for a couple of hours just talking and catching up on the last 
two months.  

Dave drove her home well after midnight and kissed her tenderly before she ran 
from the car into the house.  Dave was happy to have Katherine back in his daily 
routine but he was still worried about how she would react when they broke up 
after school finished.

Katherine entered her house and was pleased to see her mother waiting up for 
her.  They were very close and Katherine explained the new relationship and the 
intended timing.  She told her mother it wasn't perfect but she hoped that she 
could win Dave's love over the coming month.  Her mother was realistic and 
warned her to be prepared for the breakup but that should not stop her from the 
hope for something better.

Dave spent the next morning practicing with his new clubs before playing a round 
with his father in the afternoon.  He shot sixty-nine and was very pleased with 
his ball striking.  Roger, on the other hand, struggled with his new clubs and 
shot eight-two.  Dave especially enjoyed his father/son time, regardless of 
their scores.

The next week saw a consistent routine of school, practicing golf, studying 
hard, talking to Katherine, and getting a good night's sleep.  Dave knew he had 
to get his school marks as high as possible for his scholarship applications, so 
he actually spent more time studying than practicing golf.

The first tournament of the year was set for the Squirrel Creek Golf Course and 
Dave was ready.  He had talked to John the night before the tournament but, 
because John didn't want to go early to hit balls, Dave asked his dad for the 
use of his car.  He drove to the course by eight o'clock and hit balls for an 
hour before putting for another hour.  He teed-off in the third group and played 
really well.  He won the tournament easily with a sixty-eight.  The next closest 
player was seventy-two.  John had a poor day and finished in the middle of the 
forty players with eighty-one.

John had teed-off in the second last group, a half-hour after Dave.  He had not 
yet arrived at the course when Dave teed off and left the course as soon as he 
finished.  Dave was slightly disappointed that John was not taking his golf very 
serious but, in the end, Dave decided that John's priorities were definitely in 
a different place.  Deep in his heart, Dave hoped John would at least make the 
golf team.

Roger was waiting for Dave to tell him the news and Dave went through the whole 
round, hole-by-hole.  After the long discussion they went to the family computer 
and together developed a summer schedule.  The schedule was very busy looking 
but Dave was excited.  

June 7th - Merit tournament 
June 14th - Merit tournament
June 21st  - Merit tournament
June 25th to July 9th - England
July 12th - Merit tournament
July 14th to July 17th - Ping Junior at Peninsula Club in North Carolina
July 21st to July 23rd - Merit Tour Championship
July 28th - Atlantic Junior Tournament at Belle Bay, Cape Breton, NS
August 5th to August 9th - National Junior Championship at Mont Tremblant, Que 
August 11th to 14th - Greater Hartford Open Junior Classic at Hartford, Conn

Dave sat back and looked at the list, dumbfounded.  His dad asked, "Are you up 
for that?  That's a lot of golf."

Dave finally smiled, "I don't know how I will do but I am starting to get really 
excited about it."

Roger sighed in relief.  Inwardly, he was afraid that he was putting too much 
pressure on his son but, after the previous summer, Dave had proven he was up 
for the challenge.  The more research Roger did on the internet the more he 
realized that the scouts would be looking at Dave's results at recognized 
tournaments.  In that regard, the only tournament Dave had played in that was 
considered a recognized tournament was the previous National Championship.  

Roger knew he was walking a fine line between encouraging his son and pushing 
him.  He had always promised himself he would not live his life through his 
children - he had seen too many over zealous fathers chase their children from 
hockey.  There were however exceptions, like Brad Prichard's dad who moved his 
son to Saskatchewan when he was in his mid teens to play hockey.  Now Prichards 
was a multi-million dollar superstar.  Roger's head was spinning as he thought 
how he wanted the best for his son.

Dave took a shower before his weekend date with Katherine.  

He picked her up at eight o'clock and they drove around for an hour before they 
went to a teen party they had been invited to.  Dave talked animatedly about his 
golf schedule and how busy his summer was going to be.  She was happy he was 
excited about the schedule but secretly she wasn't looking forward to a summer 
without him.  The party was at Vickie's house.  It was supposed to be a small 
party for about thirty people.  

Dave and Katherine arrived relatively early and only about twenty friends were 
there but eventually that number grew significantly.  Word had gotten around 
school and the entire Edwardton area -- hundreds of crashers showed up.  
Initially, everyone was just partying and having fun.  However, there were a lot 
of teens drinking and, as the alcohol started to take effect, some of the guys 
started to get out of control.  

Dave and Katherine had been chatting with various friends.  Most of Dave's 
midget AAA team players were there and a lot of the major midget team as well.  
Dave was talking with Ken Jackson in the kitchen when he heard a loud smashing 
sound.  Dave then heard screaming and he immediately recognized one of the 
voices as Katherine's.

Dave rushed into the living room and saw Katherine and Vickie yelling at two 
guys fighting.  Dave had been worried when a large number of students from the 
other high school in Edwardton showed up.  He himself had been glad to see his 
major midget teammates, Ken and Rudy, but he suspected that something bad could 
eventually happen.

Katherine was yelling at one of the combatants.  She was trying to get them 
outside before they broke something else in Vickie's house.  Dave recognized one 
of the fighters to be Lenny MacTavish, a real troublemaker from his school.  The 
other guy didn't look familiar but when Katherine grabbed the other guy's arm in 
an attempt to separate the two, he shoved her against a wall.  Dave raced across 
the room.  He pointed at Lenny and in a very stern voice he warned, "Back off, 
right fucking now, Lenny."

Lenny recognized Dave immediately and didn't want any part of him so he 
immediately stepped back.  Dave stood in front of the other guy and said in the 
same stern voice, "Outside, right now."

The guy seemed to know who Dave was and replied, "Fuck you, MacDonald."

Dave was expecting he would have trouble dealing with him; suddenly Ken walked 
up beside him and said, "Tony, you don't want to fuck with me, so get the fuck 
outside."

Tony looked at Ken with a lot more respect than he had given Dave.  He finally 
raised his hands in front of his face, open palms facing Ken and Dave, "Fine, 
Ken, I'll go outside."  Tony then pointed at Lenny, "We're not through with 
this."

Ken and Dave escorted Tony outside.  Dave had glanced over at Katherine before 
he walked out of the room and she was hugging a very upset Vickie.  Once 
outside, Ken and Dave watched Tony find several of his friends and they all 
loaded into a jeep and left.

Dave turned to Ken, "Thanks, Ken; I appreciate the help." 

Ken replied, "No problem; Tony is a real asshole.  We had a run-in last year but 
he knows better than to mess with me now."

Dave smiled and nodded his head understandingly.  They walked back inside to 
find Vickie still very upset.  Dave walked immediately over to Lenny and said, 
"Party is over Lenny.  Find your friends and clear out."

Lenny just stared at Dave for a second then walked out of the house with his 
three friends in tow.  Dave talked to Katherine and she asked Dave to see if he 
could clear everyone out.  Dave went to Ken and between the two of them they 
sent everyone on their way.  It was almost midnight when the last person left.

Dave stayed with Katherine, Vickie, and their other good friend Helen to help 
clean up.  At two o'clock everything was pretty well tidied up and, except for 
the broken lamp that had crashed to the floor when the fight broke out, the 
house looked as good as new.

Vickie finally calmed down when she realized the house was back in order.  She 
hugged Dave tightly, "Thank you, Dave.  Mom and Dad would have killed me if this 
ended in a house-trashing party.  Thanks."  She then kissed Dave on the cheek 
and hugged him tight again.  Dave could feel her large breasts push into his 
upper stomach and he had to fight off a quickly growing bulge in his shorts.

Dave knew what she meant about a house trashing party.  Over the last three 
years, several parties had gotten out of control and the houses ended up being 
almost destroyed.  Dave remembered hearing stories about one incident where 
chain saws were used to cut the house to shreds; it may have been an urban 
legend, but brawls and vandalism could be very destructive even without 
chainsaws.  

Dave and Katherine left shortly after two o'clock.  Katherine cuddled into Dave 
in the car and whispered, "Thank you for coming to my rescue."  She kissed him 
on the cheek.  

Dave drove her home and they talked in the driveway for thirty minutes.  They 
talked about Katherine's soccer and Dave's golf.  They both loved sports and 
found common motivation to improve their respective games.  Dave wished her luck 
in her game the next evening before they kissed passionately then she went 
inside.

Sunday was another day of golf and study.  Dave did take a two hour break Sunday 
evening to watch Katherine play soccer.  He was impressed with how good she was 
and he noticed her smiling at him during the game.  She was a strong aggressive 
forward playing the striker position and she used her speed to create several 
scoring chances.  Early in the second half she took a pass, split between two 
defenders, and kicked a solid shot into the far corner.  She celebrated with her 
team and she seemed to smile when she saw Dave cheering her goal.

Dave waited after the game and teased her how sexy she looked in her shorts.  
She smiled bashfully and they kissed before she went home with her parents.

The first week of June was the last week of classes because the following two 
weeks were set aside for final exams.  Dave received a lot of calls trying to 
convince him to attend the hockey draft on Saturday, June 7th - but he explained 
that he was golfing.  One team in particular wanted to draft him first overall; 
but after he refused to commit to their team, they said they would have to pass 
on him.  He told them that was a good idea because he currently had no plans to 
play hockey the next winter.

John talked non-stop about the draft and Dave could see that his training time 
with Elliot was paying off - he was getting thicker through the chest and legs.  
Dave wished John well at the draft on Thursday when he and his father left for 
Quebec.

Dave didn't know much about the draft but Alan had explained that, basically, 
the league had owners and managers meetings on Friday then on Saturday morning 
they spoke to various prospective players.  The draft started early in the 
afternoon and each team chose a player based on the leagues standings the 
previous year.  The last place team went first and the first place team went 
last.  Teams often traded players and picks during the draft.  Each team often 
drafted up to ten or twelve players.  The prospective players usually sat in the 
stands of the host arena then walked to the stage if and when their name was 
called.  

Dave continued his routine with even more emphasis on his studies.  On Saturday 
he again won the tournament shooting seventy-one.  He was disappointed with his 
score but it was still enough to win by two strokes.

Later that night, he and Katherine went to a movie then to McDonalds.  They hung 
out with their friends and both enjoyed seeing common friends.

On Sunday Dave golfed then studied.  He again went to Katherine's soccer game.  
It was a warm day and he noticed her top sticking to her body.  He wondered if 
she was wearing one of those sexy sports bras.  He distractedly watched her 
score another goal and help her team to tough three-two victory.

He arrived home after the game and his father told him that he had been drafted 
in the second round by Gatineau.  Gatineau had won the Quebec league this year 
and went to the Memorial Cup.  Dave had heard they were rebuilding and that is 
probably why they drafted him.  Dave just kind of shrugged to show he was mostly 
indifferent to the news; then he asked, "Who drafted John?"  His father reported 
that John had been drafted by the Missiles in the third round.  Dave knew the 
Missiles had just signed an agreement with the City of Edwardton to relocate to 
Dave and John's hometown.  Dave was pleased for John and also pleased that he 
would still be able to hang out with his best friend.

Dave and his father talked about what they would do when the team called to 
invite him to conditioning camp.  Dave told his father that conditioning camp 
usually started in early August and his golf schedule was very busy until the 
middle of August.  Dave said he would be truthful with the Gatineau team and 
tell them straight-out that his golf was more important to him and that he would 
not be attending their camp.

Dave's exam schedule had him writing four exams the first week and two the 
second week.  Dave again split his time between golfing and studying.  On 
Thursday, Roger asked, "Will you make yourself available to help me open the 
trailer on Sunday?  We can golf as usual afterwards at Hawk's Hollow."

Dave agreed and actually looked forward to their now traditional trailer-
opening-day.  Dave's last exam for the week was Friday morning and he went right 
to Hornsby after his exam to practice, then play.  Katherine came over to Dave's 
house on Friday night and they hung out watching television and relaxing.  

The third tournament was on Saturday and Dave again struggled with his focus.  
He was disappointed with his score of seventy but still won by one stroke.  He 
was quickly finding that the tournaments weren't challenging him enough.  The 
tournament was at Aldebury Golf Course and he was again driving home alone.  The 
thirty-minute drive gave him lots of time to think.  

He had initially been concerned about missing three rounds of the Merit Tour.  
He had thought he might have trouble making the team, but with his third 
straight victory, he was now so far ahead, that short of a nightmare performance 
in the last events, he could attend, he was a lock for the team.  

John on the other hand was looking equally as certain to not make the team.  
After missing the second tournament, he had played just fair again this 
tournament shooting seventy-six and finishing in tenth.  Out of the forty 
golfers, John was sitting in twenty-fifth place overall.  Only the top four 
players made the team but players who finished fifth to eighth were allowed to 
pay their own way and go to the nationals.  Last year Dave had finished second 
and John finished sixth.

Dave further thought how the Merit Tour had almost become boring and 
unchallenging.  In his mind, he compared it to playing AAA hockey.  At that 
level he was dominant and except for mistakes by other players, they should 
never have lost a game.  The major midget level, however, was much more 
challenging.  As these thoughts rolled through his head he realized why his 
father wanted him to play the extra tournaments.  In order for him to take his 
game to the next level, he had to be challenged more and golfing against 
America's best should do that.  Dave was now even more determined to practice 
harder.

Saturday night was another night spent with Katherine and they went to a movie.  
After the show they were driving around when Katherine suggested going to the 
park for a while.  The last time they had been at the park was the night 
Katherine tried to win Dave back with her virginity.  Dave agreed to go but he 
also knew that he was not going to let things go too far.  

Dave was pleased when their passionate kissing didn't progress much past a 
little petting.  He eventually took Katherine home and they kissed tenderly 
before he drove away.

As Dave lay in bed he thought about opening up the trailer the next day.  His 
memories of the previous summer flooded into his head and he remembered watching 
his mother and sister, Julie making love.  He remembered his wonderful summer 
trysts with Ann, Jennifer, Beth and Julie.  He thought about Julie and Beth who 
now had very serious boyfriends and were seldom found just sitting around home.  
He had missed his talks with Julie and made a note to himself to have a long 
talk with his older sister very soon soon.

His next thoughts were about his upcoming trip to England.  He was leaving in 
just ten days and he was getting more and more excited.  A clear image of the 
beautiful Sarah came to his mind and he secretly wondered if he might have a 
little sexual fun with his princess.  He fell asleep dreaming of her and her 
very sexy voice.

The next morning he and his father left early for North Beach.  Dave had not 
seen the trailer since they locked it up the previous fall; he was pleased to be 
back on his summertime stomping grounds.  He glanced over at Jennifer's trailer 
next to his and he looked forward to seeing her again.  He had phoned her 
regularly and knew she was also looking forward to the summer.  Her father had 
recovered from his heart attack and was just starting back to work - but had 
promised to take a lot more time off this summer.  Dave hoped the extra parental 
supervision would not interfere with their summer fun and steamy reunions.

After the trailer was opened and cleaned, Dave and his dad went golfing at 
Hawk's Hollow.  Roger had again bought a family membership there which meant 
Dave could play either there or at Hornsby whenever he wanted.  Roger was 
getting used to his new clubs and shot an impressive seventy-four.  Dave's 
smooth swing and steady putting stroke carried him to a sixty-eight.  They 
returned to town in time for Dave to go to Katherine's weekly soccer game.

The last two exams went well and Dave went right to the golf course from school.  
After finishing on Tuesday he spent the next three days at Hawk's Hollow.  The 
driving range there was much better and the course was in good shape compared to 
Hornsby's still rough greens.  

Katherine wrote her last exam on Thursday afternoon.  Dave had driven in from 
North Beach to pick her up after she finished.  They went out to supper and then 
went to a party.  Dave could tell Katherine was upset and he suspected it was 
because school was ending soon.

The tournament on Saturday was another easy win for Dave as he shot his best 
round of the year - sixty-six.  John again finished back in the pack and Dave 
finally accepted that they would not be going to the Nationals together again.

On Sunday Dave went out to North Beach with his parents.  The van was full of 
summer supplies.  As they drove up the dusty road, Dave immediately noticed a 
van at Jennifer's trailer.  When the van stopped, he jumped out and ran to her 
families' trailer.  Jennifer ran out the door just as Dave arrived and they 
hugged passionately.  He kissed her and could only blurt out, "I've missed you."

She replied, "I missed you, too.  Are you excited about your trip to England?"

Dave answered, "Yes, very excited; but I will miss being with you too."

Jennifer just nodded agreement.  She walked with Dave as he went to his van and 
together they helped carry the supplies into the MacDonald's trailer.  After the 
supplies were all stowed Dave and Jennifer went for a walk.  They caught up on 
each other's lives.  Jennifer explained that Ann was flying in on Friday for a 
week.  Ann had originally hoped to spend Canada Day with both Jennifer and Dave; 
she had booked the flight before she found out Dave was invited to England.  She 
was very disappointed she was going to miss him but her summer was so busy that 
she couldn't change her travel dates.

Dave said it was good that Jennifer and Ann would have some private time to 
renew their friendship.  Dave had originally planned on golfing Sunday afternoon 
but instead spent the whole time with Jennifer.  The two families went out to 
supper before Jennifer and her parents drove home.  

Dave arrived in town in time to go to Katherine's game so he took the van.  
After the game he drove her home.  It seemed strange to be with Jennifer and 
then with Katherine just a few hours later but he knew he cared for both very 
deeply.  He had never thought Katherine would come close to the same status as 
Jennifer but now he realized that may have been an error.  His feelings for 
Katherine were growing very deep.

The final day of school was Tuesday and Dave arrived home with a very impressive 
report card.  His average was eighty-eight with a high of ninety-two in math.  
His parents were very proud of him.  Beth and Julie had also had very good 
years.  Julie received a scholarship from a University in Halifax and was going 
to start a pre-medical program.  She wanted to become a doctor.  Beth would be 
going on to grade eleven.

Dave finished packing for England during the afternoon.  He had a romantic 
evening planned for Katherine so he picked her up at six o'clock.  First they 
ate at a nice restaurant; it was dark except for the candlelight.  The food was 
very good.  It was an Italian restaurant and they both ate veal parmesan.  Dave 
had never had it before but loved it.  Katherine had eaten it before and had 
recommended it for him.  She was pleased when he liked it.

After eating they drove to the beach and spent two hours walking on the beach 
talking and cuddling.  Katherine was obviously upset and they talked about their 
possible future together.  Dave declared that he had fallen for her more and 
more as they had followed their dating plan.  He suggested they stay with the 
original agreement but he confessed he hoped she would still be available at the 
summer's end.  Katherine was very happy to hear his confession and seemed to 
perk up a little.

From the beach, they drove to the drive-in theatre.  They spent the night 
cuddled in each other's arms as they watched the film.  The drive home was very 
quiet.  Dave kissed her tenderly and said, "I'll see you soon."

Katherine kissed him hard on the lips then ran into the house with tears running 
down her cheeks.

Dave slept in the next day.  He was excited about the trip but nervous to be 
going alone.  His flight was scheduled to leave Edwardton at three-thirty and 
fly to Halifax.  Then a second flight from Halifax was supposed to leave at 
seven and he would arrive in London at six-thirty in the morning.  

Dave awoke at ten o'clock and, after eating breakfast, went to Hornsby to 
practice and calm his nerves.  After hitting balls for two hours he went home 
and ate a large lunch.  His parents drove him to the airport.  They checked his 
luggage and his clubs.  He sat talking with them until his flight was called.  
He kissed them goodbye and nervously went through security.

The flight to Halifax was only thirty minutes and, once in Halifax, he bought 
some magazines to fill his time in the airport.  The flight to London seemed 
long and he struggled to get comfortable enough to sleep; he never did.  The 
plane finally landed and Dave nervously walked up the plane ramp towards 
Heathrow Airport.  He followed the other passengers through customs.  His clubs 
and suitcase were casually checked by security before he exited the secure area.  
As soon as he walked through the frosted door, he heard a squeal and turned to 
see Sarah running to him.  He put down his bags and opened his arms to hug his 
princess.

Dave held her tight; he could feel her body quivering with excitement.  She 
smelled great and looked beautiful.  Here light brown hair was just past 
shoulder length and she had a long trim body - Dave guessed her to be about five 
foot six and about one hundred and ten pounds.  Her hips were very narrow, not 
yet having taking their more mature shape.  Her soft round breast pushed into 
his chest - she was even better in reality than memory or dreams.  

As he held her close her perfume filled his lungs and he wanted to hold her 
forever.  Dave eventually noticed Sarah's parents walk up behind her, so he 
released her and shook their hands.  Lord Thurlow asked, "How was your flight?"

Dave replied, "Tiring, but I feel better now that I am here."

Lady Diana added, "Well, let's get you home so you can get some rest."

Dave picked up his two bags and followed the Thurlows through the airport.  When 
they walked out the front door, a man dressed in a very formal suit took Dave's 
bags and put them in the back of a Rolls Royce.  The back doors were then opened 
and the Thurlows with Dave in tow climbed into the luxurious car.  Dave and 
Sarah sat with their backs to the chauffeur facing Sarah's parents.

The Rolls had leather seats with fine oak finish on the doors.  There was lots 
of leg room and Dave noticed a phone and what looked like a small refrigerator.  
He marveled at the luxury and loved the cool air conditioned climate.  The 
windows had all been tinted black from the outside but now inside Dave could see 
out clearly.

The drive was filled with casual talk.  Lord Thurlow seemed to relax more once 
he was secluded in the back of the car and Dave remembered what his father had 
said about having to live a different life when in the public eye.

The car eventually stopped and Dave was surprised when he stepped out of the car 
and looked at the gigantic mansion the Thurlows called home.  Dave tried to help 
the chauffeur with the bags but was quickly pulled aside by Sarah.  Another man 
dressed in a similar black formal suit walked out the front door as they arrived 
and he nodded to the Thurlows as he took Dave's bags from the chauffeur.

Sarah asked her parents, "Can I give Dave a tour now?"  They nodded assent so 
she tugged Dave inside the front door.  The first view inside the mansion was 
like an image Dave had seen in movies.  There was a large front hall with an 
impressive winding staircase leading to the second floor.  Dave followed Sarah 
as she led him through the house.  They passed through room after room, a 
sitting room, a reading room, a music room with a huge grand piano and a good 
space for an audience, another sitting room, the dinning room, and finally a 
library.

They had circled back at some point and Dave laughed to himself as he thought he 
might actually get lost if he had to navigate the house himself.  Sarah escorted 
Dave out the back door to see a huge yard with sculptured topiary bushes, 
manicured trees, and dazzling flowers.  Dave was very awestruck as he looked at 
Sarah and finally asked, "Do you actually live here or is this a museum?"

Sarah laughed, "Of course we live here.  Just Mommy, Daddy and me ... and the 
seven staff that work for us; the staff lives in."

Dave looked at her with his mouth hanging open, "Seven staff?  What do they all 
do?"

Well our chauffeur is Raymond, the butler is James, the cook is Margaret, 
Mommy's maid is Susan, Daddy's personal assistant is Caldwell, the gardener is 
Hunter, and my new maid is Roxanne.

Dave just shook his head when he thought about her having her own maid.  They 
strolled through the grounds talking about what they had done all winter when 
Sarah said, "Daddy has a few friends at the Royal Blackheath Golf Course and he 
has arranged for you to have the use of the practice facilities for the two 
weeks you are here.  I also arranged a few games for you and signed you up for a 
tournament there next weekend."

Dave's jaw dropped opened again and he began to wonder if it looked like it were 
on a well-oiled hinge.  He asked, "What kind of games and what tournament?"

Sarah replied with a devilish grin, "I have some friends who know some very 
serious golfers.  Two of them are James Bravant and Andrew Ruth.  They are among 
the top junior golfers in England.  They were initially wary of playing with a 
stranger but, when they found out you were leading the Canadian National Junior 
event last year before what happened with us, they reconsidered and agreed to 
play with you on Wednesday.  The tournament is next weekend at the Royal 
Blackheath.  It is a Junior Invitational and Daddy only had to pull a few 
strings to get your name added to the list."

Dave was still walking beside Sarah with her hand is his and he shook his head 
in disbelief.  They were almost back to the mansion when Dave spotted a large 
pool mostly hidden by fences and hedges.  He asked, "Can we go for a swim?"

Sarah hugged his arm, "I'd love to go for a swim.  I'll show you where your room 
is and then we can get changed."

Dave followed Sarah into the house but didn't exactly recognize the room they 
had entered.  Sarah explained they were in the west wing now and she escorted 
him upstairs.  Dave realized her initial house tour had only covered half of the 
house.  "Holy shit," he thought, "I wonder if they have a floor plan or map for 
me?"  They walked down several hallways covered with fine art.  There were also 
various sculptures sitting on small tables and Dave thought he was in a maze.  
Sarah finally pointed to a door and Dave walked inside.  

His room was bigger than his and Julie's bedrooms put together.  There was a 
large four poster bed beside the row of windows.  His closet door was open and 
his shirts, dress shorts, and dress pants had been hung up.  He walked to the 
closet and saw his suitcase on the top shelf.  He lifted it and could 
immediately tell it was empty.  Sarah chuckled, "James put your clothes away.  
That is one of his duties."

Dave went to a large dresser and found the rest of his clothes logically 
arranged in the drawers; he was in a small panic as he wondered if the butler 
had found his stash of condoms.  He pulled out his swimsuit, turned and smiled 
at Sarah.  She said, "I'll get changed and come back and get you."  Dave heard 
her skip away down the hall.  He saw another door off his room and opened it 
cautiously before peeking in.  It was his own private bathroom.  There was an 
old cast-iron claw-foot tub near the window.  He walked in and was relieved to 
see a stand-up shower half hidden in the corner.  

He half closed the door behind himself and stripped off his clothes.  He pulled 
on his bathing suit before he carried his clothes out to his room.  He placed 
the clothes he removed on the end of his bed then lay in the bed to see how 
comfortable it felt.  He looked around the beautiful old room and wondered what 
the next two weeks would bring.
