The young girl appeared in the doorway dressed in pajama pants, slippers and a sweatshirt. She took one look at the soaked Kate before ushering her into the house.
"Get in here! You're crazy!"
In a flash Kate hopped through the doorway. Kay closed the door behind her.
From upstairs a voice called down.
"Kay? Who was it?"
"Kate, Mom!" Kay called back, "She got caught out in the hailstorm."
"My goodness! Well get her a change of clothes. She's welcome to stay as long as she likes. I'm getting dressed now and I'll be right out."
Kay suppressed a devious smile as her mother finished speaking. Kate noticed it and gave Kay a strange look.
"Oh. Don't worry," Kay said, "I'll tell you all about it in a few minutes. Meantime.......I'll get you some dry clothes."
Kate followed her host up the long winding staircase and towards the small, richly furnished bedroom of the twenty-one year old.
Kay provided another pair of pajama pants and sweatshirt, which Kate gratefully slipped into after shaking off her wet clothes.
"Let me take those," Kay offered, "I'll have Rebecca throw into the laundry for you."
"Thanks."

She then called down the hallway.
"Rebecca? Can you come here?"

As she turned to go, Kay quickly grasped her by the arm and looked out into the hallway towards Emilia's room.
"Did mom notice what you and Margaret did yet?"
Rebecca shook her head.
"Not yet.......are you sure she won't be upset?"
"Oh she will be upset......but I told you how you guys can handle that."
Rebecca nodded hesitatingly.
"I guess....just."
Kay gave her a pat on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. It'll be fun. I promise. Is your mom in position?"
"Yes. She's making the bed in your mom's room."
"Good. Once you put that stuff into the laundry, come back here."
Rebecca agreed and sped off.
Kate looked at Kay curiously.
"What's going on?"
