before Dorothy page 4

 before Dorothy page 4 by ric gustafson


Emily sat down in a chair next to a desk. Mr Keogh Senior glanced over at Dorothy. " So how is she doing?". 
Both observed Dorothy having a conversation with her toy lion.
" She talks to her toys a lot". She smiled. " Dorothy has a very vivid imagination".
" How old is Dorothy?".
" Seven".
He put some papers from a filing tray onto his desk. " Now, let's get down to business".
It took a while for Emily to sign all the forms. After a while, she signed the last one.
" That's everything Mrs Gale". Mr Keogh smiled. " You and Henry are now Dorothy's legal guardians".
Emily stood up. " Thank you Mr Keogh".
" I did not know that your husband and Annie's husband were cousins".
Emily grinned. " That is true".
