By George! Where Queen Caroline Ended Up
George IV might not have been able to divorce his queen, but he could still cut her out of his life. Including his coronation. Queen Caroline had spent several weeks getting ready to attend the coronation. She had even sent a letter to her husband, asking him what she should wear. Rather cheeky, that.

Suzie’s House 124 : Unpunished
Gene refused to look up. Instead, he crumbled the cookie on the plate Mrs. Hammacker had put in front of him. He didn’t dare look at Ben, because then Ben would expect him to back him up. He didn’t dare look at Mrs. Hammacker, because she might ask questions. For sure Kathy the Social Worker would ask questions. Probably ask even if he didn’t look. And Lisa. Gene had no idea what to make of Lisa. He hunched over the […]
