11.  A better day today, Miss Lavant wrote in her diary, quite a bit of sunshine.

12.  A big smile suddenly spread across her face.

13.  A big woman, Wilkens uses her bulk to exquisite comic advantage.

14.  A biology professor at San Diego State, she recognized business potential in some of her research.

15.  A black kerchief modestly veiled her hair.

16.  A black necklace hung down over her full breasts.

17.  A board placed under the mattress gave additional comfort to her back.

18.  A breeze blows the white curtains in on either side of her, two ghostly arms embracing her.
