A roomful of women

Every seat in the classroom -- save for one on the front row -- was filled with women. Young women who seemed far, far younger than Peggy.

And yet judging from the way they stared at her, it seemed fairly obvious to Peggy that they were not that young. In fact, they were probably older than their appearances indicated.

But the way they stared at her...

Peggy had seen men stare at her like that before but she never expected to see a woman who was not Dottie Underwood stare at her like that.

What had she got herself into?

Surely these women had seen a naked woman before -- if only just in the bathroom mirror. Yet they looked at her as if they had never seen such a sight before.

And the worst part about it was that not one of them was even bothering to look at Peggy's face.
