Shasta542:
That's how I interpreted it, and do you know, Tru, after she said that, I, who had been conscientiously and carefully not touching a thing, started to touch the door jambs as we went through them.
You two!!! :P Was the lady snarky? Or were ya'll secretly iin league, sympathetically/empathetically (whichever??), with the poor embarrassed guy?
I loved reading about your outing together! And about Elle leading the Christmas carols on the bus -- sweet!! Your day together sounded like such a nice and cool time!

We toured the cellars, the smoke houses, the blacksmiths shop, where I discovered a mystical connection betwixt Ellemeno and Scott' dog.
:laugh: :laugh:
Who will enlighten us?

She was officious and had this sort of air that she owned Thomas Jefferson. Like he was her Barbie doll, and she would let us look at her Barbie, but wouldn't let us touch or even acknowledge that we had a Barbie too. Plus she spoke in the present tense with every sentence. I understand that's the historical docent's prerogative, but she made it real annoying.
It felt like she called sharply across the crowd at that guy to make an example of him. That's what I didn't like. He had his jacketed shoulder leaning on a high gloss door frame that surely gets repainted again and again. It wasn't like he had laid down in the bed. Still, I will acknowledge that on the 3:30pm tour alone there were many, many people, so I'm sure they do need to watch that each individual leaves as little impact as possible. But her tone...

You and Truman did good! I hope the guy noticed. ;) ;D

Elle once had someone in her life named Grady as well as Scott. That was the mystical connection
