"Hello, Linda?" Eric's voice cthrough, sounding preoccupied. "I'm short on time. What do you need?" "Okay, straight to the point," Linda said firmly. "What's happening with the Clifford family?

Linda acted swiftly, standing to dab at the spill with a towel 'Nee@more water?" Ernest declined with a shake of his head.
"Just a moment," Linda said.
She fetched a fresh shirt from the closet, elevated the head of the bed, and started to change his soaked shirt.
