The Cabbie has a horse? This long elegant fingers belong to a lady, I presume?
But the boy called, sir, so it’s a man!
Interesting!
The story takes place in the 1800s. That’s why the cabbie has a horse. 🙂
And you’re right. It is a man. Thanks for stopping by Nas. 🙂
When I first read this, I felt completely clueless…. But then I looked over and found your “what you’ll find here” section and it put everything into perspective. I now feel enlightened. 🙂 So with that said, the 6 sentences leave me wanting to know more.
Hi Optimistic Mom. Sorry for the initial confusion, but I’m really pleased you stopped by..
