understand his feelings. As they walked Jerry got to know Cynthia better. She was a psychology major at college. His first impression was right, they were the same age. She was working as costume mis- tress because sewing and designing were her hobby plus the fact that the producer was her uncle and she was his favorite niece.
The day ended by Cynthia and Jerry having dinner at Cynthia's apartment. They went over his lines in the play. Cynthia gave him some suggestions on how to make his voice more feminine sounding. She gave him lessons on how to walk, sit and in general how to be a woman. She was quite pleased with her student and saw that he was really trying to be feminine. Cynthia also saw Jerry as a sensitive person whom she began to like more and more.
"Well," Jerry said. "It's getting late so I guess that I'd better be going. Cynthia I want to thank you so much for all the help. I really appreciate it. See you in the morning."
"Wait a minute," she said. She quickly went into her room and came out with a beautiful nightgown. “Here,” she said. “I want you to sleep in this tonight. If you're going to learn to think and dress like a woman then you've got to go all the way."
Jerry thanked her and left for his room. It was too beautiful an even- ing to just go to bed so he sat down outside his apartment and thought for about an hour. He thought about how much pleasure he was feeling being dressed as a woman. Jerry didn't understand his feelings but he knew that he really enjoyed this feeling. He was enjoying life in a new exciting way. He felt different, more free than before. He felt like he could suddenly feel things that were previously forbidden to him.
The next morning he awoke to the phone ringing. It was the motel owner. He said that he saw a girl enter his room last night. She didn't come out at all! The motel owner said that he didn't want that sort of thing in his motel! So Jerry was evicted as of 5:00 that evening. Jerry realized that he couldn't explain what had happened because the owner probably wouldn't believe it anyway.
Jerry didn't know what to do so he called Cynthia and told her what had happened. She understood and told him not to worry that she'd think of something. In the meantime to move his stuff over to her apartment.
