unexpectedMy aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of venteen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright,
