Dad was explaining how well the prospective date would fit in the bed of the truck and did the date know that the truck could go so deep into the back country that no one would ever find the spot again. The date answered quickly that he would have the daughter back by 11:00. With that said, I have always had a lot of faith in Mary's ability to make good decisions. However, I did want her to know that on some subjects there was no price too high when her safety came into play.
