Wow
Not what I was expecting... Though, come to think of it, it's not surprising that Cathy had an "experience" here.
I do wonder what will end up happening - and how Stephanie will react to it all.
Does this mean the other girl - the one that worked in the colonies for some politician - will get the job?
Thank you,
Anne
Early Bike - A fairy godmother
That was unexpected.
Not only the storyline but also the early posting of this chapter.
Now today will be one of the few days where I can stop reading and go to bed before midnight ;)

I can honestly say
that was one outcome i never expected.... But why should i be surprised ? After all this is BIKE and things like that happen when Cathy is around ,
Seems that Jacquie had spent too much time serving a sentence for a crime she had not committed, Quite understandable then that she was more than a little cynical, That was until she met a special lady, As Cathy says almost a fairy godmother... Lovely storytelling as always Angharad ... Thank you.

May I share something with you?
Angharad:
I greatly support the sentiment in this chapter. Everyone needs a chance in life. I know that you do not believe in God, and this is no attempt at all to change your mind.
As you may remember, I spent several years as a real mess after my being outed and subsequent divorce. The psych people were way over medicating me. Over the years, I got my SRS, got off the drugs, spent 4 years in DBT, and was generally seen as a poster child for the American Veterans Administration. I was so messed up that a major part of my involvement with Islam was to have strict rules around me; they made me feel more secure. Most people do not understand that feeling.
Still last February, I recognised that Islam was falling apart for me because some within it were digging into my past, in violation of their own religious rules. (Surah 49). Apparently, it was not a case of passing, especially with my garb, but some women are just nosey.
So it was that I was driving down the road in early March and encountered the Mormons at a Historical site. Life with them the last year has been wonderful and I am now loved and accepted in a way that I have never encountered in my whole life. It has been extremely healing.
So, the scene where the girl confronted Cathy, and Cathy's response to her are like a scene from my own life. Thank you so much for writing this very special chapter.

this episode reminds me that no mater what
i'm expecting Angharad has something new in store. Thanks A&B a total and appreciated surprise.
But doesn't something like this make Cathy's denial difficult?

Jacquie might be able to heal Jenny.

A Nice Surprise
That was really good. An unexpected twist, and another manifestation of the wierd power Lady C uses or is used by.
Things like this do happen. I was in my first year of doing my post grad studies for my PhD, and living with my boyfriend, when I got pregnant. I was on the pill, reluctantly prescribed by a sadistic MCP of a GP who held that women should stay at home and clean and cook and make babies, and as an RC did not approve of family planning, so gave me a low dose pill that had a built in failure rate that I was not told about !
When I went to see my Prof. I fully expected to be thrown out and that to be the end of my career in science, but instead he arranged for me to have a part time teaching post, arranged for my baby to be able to spend the days in the creche for mothers working at the College, and gave me a lot of support ! In fact pretty well everybody was really kind to me and we got married and struggled through and succeded better than we could ever have expected, and my wee daughter was better looked after with so many doting cooing wannerbe mums around her than anyone could have wished for.
More than once in my life I have screwed up, badly, yet somehow something unexpected happens or someone comes along and helps me out. I have grown a sort of feeling that I have something really important to do and wont be allowed to rest until I have done it. Irrational I know, but kind of comforting too.

It's that thing again!
It's that thing again; that blue light. It jus' creeps up on you and - well.
I suspect Cathy had some inkling it might ... but it's still the devil to deep for catching you when you least expect it.
It caught me!
Good un Ange.
That's why I'm still lovin' it.

Sweet Ange, really
Sweet Ange, really sweet.

Shekinah moves in mysterious ways...
Sorry, couldn't resist, but it's true, isn't it? After all, arranging for Jacqui to sufficiently interested in the post to (a) apply, (b) turn up for interview, (c) come back a second time, (d) realise Cathy knew (courtesy of her checks with Jim), and (e) subsequently be treated to a dose of emotional/mental healing (possibly not blue light, as that tends to be physical healing)...
So it looks as though Cathy's helping Jacqui to move on and make a fresh start - plus may have some help in the mornings and evenings (since Jacqui will probably be at college during weekday daytimes for the next couple of years). Hopefully now Cathy's helped her move on from that incident, she can lighten up a bit more and may get on well with the tribe.
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!

I've finally caught up! It was like running a marathon, followed by another marathon. I started with Chapter 1 and have finally reached this point - since January!
Yours is an epic story. I'm so pleased I finally dove into it. I'm now deeply involved with the entire family. As a Scottish-American, I'm pleased to read about folk from Scotia.
I look foreward to my Daily Dormouse, aka The Perils of the Scottish Paulene, and I hope to continue enjoying the trials and tribulations of the family for many years to come.
Thank you for a delightful story.

Justice,
I wonder how Cathy was able to see the truth...
