I understand what you mean. But this is Reggie's daughter and I will go. In spite
of, shall we say, lifestyle differences, we have a close bond. Only a month ago I

uncle, lay dying.

Ditto that!
I don't mean to be crying poor-mouth here. The cost of the rentals isn't

I don't think Miss Manners would disagree with you. Well, about this,
anyway.
