After a short career in elementary education, Deeanne Gist retired to raise her four children.

“He wants a fifteen thousand pound settlement."
"Fifteen thousand!"
"He says you're a great deal of trouble."
She hesitated for one startled moment before choking back a laugh.
"I am."

A short laugh escaped her.”
