The author writes about a young girl who "wasn't safe" to spend the night with her lesbian teacher because of her sexuality, but she was determined to keep her secret for as long as she could. She had heard about young people sometimes lying about their age in order to remain "friendly". In this case, one of the brunettes was about thirty years old and had been a student at Milford sound for only a short period of time. Her parents were not at home during the time of the lie, but they found out about it soon enough when one of her friends from school brought it up to them..
