      Q I'm sure you'll think I'm ridiculous: I'm a 70-year-oldwoman and I'm starting to wonder if I might not be gay. I did get married and had two children whom I adore, but I've always felt an outsider. I've always had very close friendships with women

      BY

      DESTOUCHES

      Translated and Adapted

                              By Frank J. Morlock

                                     C 1982

      CHARACTERS:

      Mr. Matthews, an old man

      Elizabeth, his daughter

      Walter, his son
