Flo Flo was certainly placed in a very embarrassing position How would she meet Bobs mother as her maid when he had taken it for granted that she was an invited guest to her house partV How was she to know though that Bobs mother had remarried and was Mrs Appenhe1m Should she tell Bob all about it or wait and confide in his mother?
