I stared, shocked, feeling a scream in my throat that just stayed there Beforesprawled overspas red fingernails digging in, her head rolling fro me this was not their first time

What should I do now? Close the door and say nothing? Fly into a towering rage and drive Lance out of our hoht in a web of indecision I stood there as only seconds must have passed, until I heard a faint noise behind me

Another gasped I whirled around to see Bart, as staring at Cindy, who'd rolled on top of Lance and was lustily riding hiarities in between herbut what she was doing and as being done to her

Bart had no indecision

He strode directly to the bed and caught hold of Cindy around the waist With a hty heave he tore her off the boy; who seeoing on Bart ruthlessly hurled Cindy to the floor She screamed as she fell face doard on the carpet

Bart didn't hear

He was too busy handling the youth Again and again his fists slammed into Lance's handsome face I heard the crack of his nose as blood spurted everywhere "NOT UNDER MY ROOF!" he roared, repeatedly battering Lance's face "NO SINNING UNDER MY ROOF!"

ANow I ran to save the boy "Bart, STOP! YOU'LL KILL HIM!"

Cindy kept screa hysterically even as she tried to cover her nudity with the clothes she'd dropped on the floor They were all ar his eyes scornfully over Cindy; then he was turning to s satisfaction that said over and over again: See, I told you so Like hter

"See what you've raised with your pa?" Jo

el intoned, as if behind a pulpit "It was evident fro but a harlot under the roof of my father's house"

"You fool!" I stormed "Who are you to condemn anyone?"

"You are the fool, Catherine Just like your mother, in more than one way She, too, wanted every man she saw, even her own half uncle She was like this naked girl crawling lewdly around on the floor-- ready to bed doith anything in pants"

Unexpectedly Bart dropped Lance on the bed and hurled himself at Joel "Stop it! Don't you dare tell my mother she's like her mother! She isn't, she isn't!"

"You'll see it my way eventually, Bart," said Joel in his softest, ot what she deserved Just as your ht still rule in this world, and God is in his Heaven, that indecent, naked girl on the floor trying to cover herself will meet her end in fiery flames, as she deserves"
