"I'm as straight a girl as your own daughter. Ask him." She pointed to the stricken David. Pointing may not be ladylike, but it can be extremely effective. David's head dropped into his hands. "Oh, Ma!" he groaned.
"Perhaps you'll tell me where she is, sir," said he patiently. "Leave it to me," said the Bonnie Lassie, who has an unquenchable thirst for the dramatic in real life.
