73.2) Weeelll, first thing I'd like to say is that 50 is not so old in general terms, even if it might be a bit old to be a virgin (if you aren't also a nun).

Okay, okay, I'm just giving the author a little comical chastisement here due to my oversensitivity about age these days (as I arch my left eyebrow and look at my screen over the top of my tri-focals - can ye see me, cg? )! Very funny scene, and endearing, too. I think Casey did himself (and Robin) a lot of good by giving Miss Edwina a farewell kiss. She's not going to feel quite so strongly about prosecuting someone who made her feel special, eh? And Miss Georgina isn't likely to tell too many tales, either, given her dishabille. -- Cindy's Cottage

Now Miss E. Casey never uses the term 'dry rot' at all. Remember these are not swingin' fifty year olds, these are rather uptight, prim women. Admittedly, they are trying to change that. :) Who knows what Casey might have done were he not married? ;) And yes, I feel that look and I can even see it. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 11:45:01 10/22/07 Mon
- yes, Casey noted how much more attractive she was when she smiled. They do say that a smile is the best accessory a woman can wear!!! (NT) -- susiej, 12:19:26 10/22/07 Mon
- Okay, point taken (she says, pouting). It's just that I don't feel as old as I am. Fifty is looking good to me now! (NT) -- Elaine, 13:09:16 10/22/07 Mon
  - I am approacing that age myself. I am closer to it now than I am 40. It looks scarry from here, but I hardly feel 35 so, surely it won't be so bad. I fretted quite frightfully over 40 and not much has changed, so I wish the best for 50. :-) (NT) -- bug, 05:46:38 10/23/07 Tue
    - I didn't bat an eye at 40. Even 50 wasn't so bad until AARP started sending me literature and a card with my name printed on it. (NT) -- Elaine (), 06:29:37 10/23/07 Tue
