“Selma!” Julian called.

“Can you come here a minute? There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

“Of course, Prince Julian,” Selma said and she came near. I couldn’t see her with Julian in the way, but I could hear her well enough when she said, “How can I help you?”

“Selma, listen, I’ve been hearing some rumors...” Julian said. “I’m not sure what to believe.”

I worried a moment that she might clamp up and not tell Julian everything.

Julian inched closer to her. “I’m y concerned for you,” he said. “If mom and dad are asking you to do things outside your moral range...”
