It was also during this interlude, that Liz had suggested that since he had a light beard anyway, that it might be a good idea if he had it removed permanently. Half kiddingly, she had said. "You know even though I will soon be back at school, I may have a baby someday and you will have to cover for me again. Shaving is a nuisance anyway and it does make it more difficult for you to be 100% feminine at all times." Harry had agreed and the treatments were begun.

The two months passed quickly and Dr. Rodin told Liz she could return to her work which made her elated, but noticeably depressed Harriet. Liz noticed, and asked Harriet what seemed to be the matter.

"I didn't think so at first, but I am not going to be happy going back to my grey office and being only a figurehead at the school. I am going to be bored and unhappy and even a bit jealous of you and the other teachers and students." he answered.

"There must be something more" Liz insisted, "You have done it before and why should it be different now. What else is really bothering you?"

"All right" he replied somewhat angrily, "If you insist on my saying it. I am not happy about giving up these wonderful clothes that I am enjoying so much, my being a woman among women and actually teaching them to be feminine. I don't want to cut my nails or hair, nor do I want to give up the pleasure of wearing attractive makeup. I am used to night- gowns and not pajamas now, and don't want to go back to them. I want to go shopping with you as we have been doing, with BOTH of us trying on lovely new things in the dressing rooms, and not my waiting outside. I will resent giving up my favorite perfumes and colognes for after shave lotion which I won't be needing in a few months anyhow when my beard is completely gone!"

Then he continued. “I enjoy doing the cooking and setting an attractive table. I am almost finished knitting my wool dress and I frankly want the pleasure of wearing it. Liz, I enjoy being a woman except for the few moments that I want to spend with you alone. If I am as honest as I should be, I admit that I have given serious thought to using hormones so that I might have natural breasts, a more realistic feminine voice, and some roundness to my hips so that the darned padded girdles won't be needed!"
