Edna turned as Charlie entered the room.  "Charlie!  You had me worried child."  She walked to her and took her hands, but let go when Charlie flinched.  Edna pulled up Charlie's sleeves and winced at the sight of the bandages.  "Again?  You really need to be more careful dear.  I will serve.  Go sit and have a cup of tea.  There are some young men here, so you might try to be pleasant."  The last was spoken is something very like a stage whisper.<br/><br/>"Everyone, this is Charlie!"  She got another cup of tea for Charlie, fixing it like the girl liked it.<br/><br/>ooc:  I will still wait another day for the longer story, until people have a chance for responses.
