RANSVESTIA

When he and Mary returned to the apartment, he could not wait to get back into his female anatomy and then into a full length black night- gown. It was mandarin style with slits on the side and had a matching robe trimmed in pink embroidery on the pockets and down the center. Though without makeup, he put on a short auborn wig with an upsweep similar to the casual style women wear their hair in the evening.

Mary remarked, "You're getting to like your role now, aren't you Harriet? And to think that only a week ago, I was worried that you would not go along with our little plan! NOW, I'm beginning to worry on how we can get you to go back to being Harry again, when Liz is ready to come back to work!"

"I'd be lying, if I said that what you are saying is not true. I don't be- lieve that there will be a problem in getting back to being Harry, but I am following the advise you gave me the first evening and I AM trying to think, act, and be feminine at all times so that this deception remains just that, a successful deception" he countered.

For the next several days, Harriet increasingly enjoyed the prepara- tions prior to leaving for school and each day took on more of the class- room workload. Each evening, the reluctance to become Harry again for the hospital visits increased, and he would wait until the very last minute before changing. The girls no longer came to visit the apartment and coach Harriet each evening. She was getting all the instruction she needed at the school and found that her retention of what was being taught was excellent. Practicing living as a woman virtually 24 hours a day did not do any harm to the deception either.

It was with some tension and yet with some relief when Dr. Rodin phoned her at the school one day and said, "Harriet, I want you to come to the hospital this afternoon, just as you are. Liz has been feeling better and I have explained the situation to her. Believe it or not, she cant wait to see you and finds it impossible to believe that you have doing her job at the school. Can you make it? Just the two of you will be there. I thought it would be easier for you that way.”

Of course she could! That morning Harriet had put on, very daringly for her, a checkered minidress, several inches above the knees and with a wide belt that accentuated the waistline. Textured pantihose and low, square toed shoes completed her outfit. With long auburn hair resting on her shoulders and the long dangling black earrings, she made a most attractive picture.
