Karen finished her prayers and took a deep breath for standing up. Except that the pew left little to be desired on helping her out, for the back was ungiving and her bulk was unwilling to shift just right. Then the next sounds that came were like little sobs that bubbled forth and she grunted in effort to stand. She had seen the rector and called out, "I am sorry," squeak, "But I seem to be stuck in the seated position. I'm afraid me belleh is in the way." Squeak.
