In the southern town off Abbottsford, is the biggest in Downshire, its administrative capital and the seat of the Downshire government.
It was also a place of leaning thanks to the Downshire
University, a Cathedral City and was home to Abbottsford Town football club,
but it is also home to the arts with many entertainment venues, among which are
the Regal and Empire theatres, and it was the theatres which brought Phil
Harrison and Kathy Powell to town.
They were both in different productions but were both
staying at the Regents Hotel.
Phil had been for a walk to clear his head and was
returning to the Hotel when he saw former flame Kathy.
As she walked in his direction he gave her a lecherous
appraisal, she was small and slim but there were curves to her as well and just
as he was remembering the sensual feel of her breasts, she caught sight of him.
“Hi Phil” she said and tottered over to him carrying
costume bags in each hand.
“You look even more gorgeous than when I saw you last”
he said, and he stooped down to kiss her cheek.
“What are you up to?” he asked, hoping the answer was
nothing so he could reacquaint himself with her gorgeous body.
“I’m in a play at the Regents” she said a little breathless
and her cheeks were flushed.
“I had to alter my costumes for the dress rehearsal”.
He had seen her breathless and flushed before and as
he reminisced; he felt a slight trouser tickle.
“That’s a shame we could have had a catch up” he said.
“That would have been nice” She replied more
enthusiastically than she intended and blushed.
“So, who are you dressing up as?” he queried.
“I’m a maid and a flapper” she replied, “I haven’t
tried them on yet since I altered them, I hope they’re not too short and sexy”.
“It’s bound to be sexy with you in it” he said and
made her giggle and blush.
“So, what are you doing here then?” she asked.
“I’m in the Panto at the Empire opening Saturday,” he
replied.
“After that, nothing until March”
“Really, I thought you were booked up for months”.
“I was, but I had a cancelation, due to a fire in St
Albans” he said, “So once I’m done here, I’m going to have some time on my
hands, maybe take a holiday”.
“Well, I’d better go, or I’ll be late” she said and
kissed his cheek then she blushed because of a salacious thought that crossed
her mind, so she hurried off.
“Ok I’m only sorry I didn’t get to see you dressed as
a maid” he called after her.
“I’ll let you have a private viewing” she called back
and as she walked away; she was blushing an even deeper red than before.
