"Friendship" by Sven the Elder (older woman & younger man) 10, 10, 10 http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=349946948 "Friendship" by Sven the Elder (sven@brass-neck.demon.co.uk). http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=349946948 The narrator experiences some serious destruction to his house as a result of a storm. The neighbor lady invites him into her house and then into herself. In spite of their age difference they have a very nice go at it. I don't know what faffing is. It must be something the British do. It's nice to have someone around in time of need. Sorry about the brevity of this review, but I want to recommend this story in this issue of CR. It's another excellent story.
