She neither thought
herself beautiful or required that others did. Henry often
lamented the fact that with all the money they had, she could
afford to go to one of the many body shops and get some or all

age gracefully. He was continually after her to at least wear
makeup but she adamantly refused.
When they were married, Henry didn't mind the over a decade
age difference between them. Kate was an exciting woman--

in asking her to marry him and it was one reason he stayed married
to her. The other was that he basked in the prestige her place
in society lavished on him.
"Go on in and get your shower and hurry up. We're going to
be late as it is."
"Oh, hell, it doesn't matter if we're a bit late for this.

Henry grumbled as he made his way to the ornate bathroom.
When he entered his bedroom a few minutes later wrapped in
a towel, Kate called through the connecting door from her room
to ask how the hearing was going.
