"To Cultivate" ....
Yes! Yes! Becca - "cultivate" is definitely the
politically-correct term for "the application of Kelly's charms"

!!
And WHO do you say would ever fall for something of that sort??
Well ..... apparently friend and foe alike!!
(Not that Tatia would ever know ANYthing about that ... )
or Comrade Terezcu in "So Coldy Sweet"
or Comrade Alina in "A Gift from Alexander"
or Sam Than-McLean in "The Tiger" and "Magic Mirror"

or Comrade Gianna in "Bridge of Spies"
In fact, one of the few I can think of to resist 'ol Kell's charms is Consuelo from "Casanova from Canarsie"
but then again, she had Herbie in her heart ....
As always

Tatia
