Pennington's Dance / Russell... 23

"Well thank you for the flowers Mr. Pennington, they're very nice." Said Nora as she began closing the door.
"But wait Nora, I mean Mrs. Flemming. Could I come in for a cup of tea? I thought we could visit, if of course you are not too busy." Asked Mr. Pennington, shifting from foot to foot.
Nora could feel Carly lightly pinching her elbow and struggling not to laugh at Nora's predicament.
"I'll kill that girl when he's gone." Nora swore to herself.
"Well as a matter of fact Mr. Pennington, I was just going to help my granddaughter with her…"
"Oh don't worry about that Nana, we can do it another time." Interrupted Carly, not knowing what it was Nora had been planning on using as an excuse.
"We can do that later." Said Carly as she left the pair at the door and walked down the hall and up the stairs.
