You Rang Madam?

"You rang madam?" "Yes Hudson, I rang." "What is it madam?" She stood, hands resting on the back of the sofa, her back to the window. "Come over here and lift my dress up at the back." "Madam!" his voice registered his shock. "Well?" her voice registered mild...

He has that look, you know, that perfect everything-in-the-right place look: the suit, the steel-rimmed glasses, the conservative tie, the neatly trimmed moustache, the gray, receding hairline and the slight paunch. Sitting next to him at the dentist's office, unable...
