Yep, but Lelia, I still think what you wrote was a bit out of line,
because it still implied some sort of fault on Kathy's part---"hovering
around the school a little bit too much"? In the event of a valuable
piece of her daughter's property going missing, I think Kathy had every
right to be hovering round the school!
