went and lay down. I was quite worried because we didn't have time for anyone to get sick on this trip. I was determined to leave just as soon as the merch- andise arrived. Around 7 P.M., John came to me and said that Ronaldo was outside with the jewelry. I felt horrible and didn't think I could go out and meet him. I didn't want him to come in because my hair was in curlers again. Well, Jean came up with a brillant idea. Let Ronaldo come in to see me and I could put on my golf hat.
