In surgery, we give the patient lidocaine to deaden the area we are about to put another needle into. I thought that the area's around Lydia's mouth and brain are so desensitized that she feels nothing in saying what she thinks and feels. She is the friend that we have who says what we think but would not dare utter being truth or consequences. While she is brash, rude and utterly selfish, there is a propensity to also admire her for speaking her teenage mind from where she sees matters. She is fearless in a way that if channeled properly could yield rich results for a woman in our day. Back then, slap her. Today, the head of a large corporation albeit married 6 times.
Miss Pat
