A little while later, after Rhodes had finished serving a pot of coffee,
to each of the Bed-Bounded Ones, he found his sister on the back porch.
"Rhodes, What do I take with me on a Maidenhood Voyage?" Desiree mused.
She was laying on the porch swing. Her toes were alternately grasping and tracing
the patterns of the chain, above her.
Rhodes motioned for her to sit up. "There's room, scoot over."
