My Fiance Visits My Father's House

My Fiance Visits My Father’s House The two Gibraltars in the yard never were delivered. They have always been there. The twenty years I lived there, the neighbors never said a word. Their shrieks would shatter both if they could see them. The redwood fence my Father built is tall enough to cover his. It will be tall enough, he swears, for me to cover mine. My father says before he dies he’ll sell his own Gibraltar and leave the house, the yard, the redwood fence to me to guarantee that I keep mine. Donal Mahoney
