Tina: I remember something about that.
Angie: I couldn’t figure out how you knew I was cutting class.
Tina: Angie, you told me.
Angie: I didn’t say a word.
Tina: You didn’t have to. It was written all over your face. You see when you came in you looked surprised and somewhat stunned that I was home. And Cheryl kept looking at you then at me and she had a surprised look as well. Those were not the looks of a girl and her friend who finds their mother at home a little early after being gone for a few days. That was the look of two girls who were in a place they were not supposed to be. So, the right solution for me was to put you where you were supposed to be and let you take the consequences of your choice. It’s a part of being a Jedi.
Angie: Well, I never did that again.
Suzanne: How about Cheryl?
Angie: I don’t know. She moved away at the end of the year.
Suzanne: Sounds like you actually got off easy. I would have been grounded for a month.
Angie: Getting grounded was not something I experienced a lot of. I think that was my first time. I was just crushed about it.
Bette: Well, being confined was a very effective discipline for you. But in order for discipline to work, it has to be specific and precise. And it has to have the right amount of impact. If you had tried that more, well, the punishment would have gotten more severe. You remember when we wouldn’t go on our family outing until you straighten up your room. I think there was a movie you wanted to see. But you were determined not to straighten your room. I think you were only about 8 or 9 years old. So, Tina and I played with Daniel most of the weekend in the playroom. That was not our plan, but Dan was so young, he didn’t care if he went to the movie or not. I think you thought Maria should do that for you. But that was one of our rules. Once you started school, you needed to keep your room picked up and your bed made. And it took whatever time it took. By the time you were in middle school, you did a good job on making a bed and your room was always picked up and the laundry taken to the laundry room.

Great solution for helping Suzanne. I also like the various positive ways for her to repay the loan. Maybe 10 years down the road as she repays the loan it gets distributed again. When she has paid it off they can tell her the truth and they all can create an on going scholarship for deserving Yalie with B & T millions!!!!
So, get writing those 10+ years.
Thanks, I love your work!
You do realize that Suzanne’s solution originated with the investigation of Melvin Porter? Its one of the things that I admire about Bette. She absorbs the nuggets of wisdom which appear from various sources. I do like the fact that Bette and Tina want to help Suzanne but do not want Suzanne to be aware of where this help is coming from. And with this solution, neither Angie nor Suzanne will be in a position of being obligated to the other. If for some reason, their friendship sours, Suzanne will keep her support. And if anything should happen that Bette and Tina do not survive until Suzanne finishes her education, the money will still be there to assist her.
I like Suzanne as a friend for Angie… I like that she has red hair and is studious like Angie and perhaps a little more so. Do not look for any romance ever between Angie and Suzanne… that is just not in the cards and it would be a disaster for both of them.
Thank you for reading and commenting… I appreciate you pointing out Suzanne’s solution.
