Don't let him!' ... Lester was so horrified that for a moment he could not speak. He was horrified to see Stephen reduced so low. He was more horrified at the position in which he found himself, absolute arbiter over another human being, a being who had no recourse, no appeal from his decisions ... * * * If interested please PM laura0141 stating location, shipping preference and the name of the book (I run a lot of rings).
