On a late Saturday afternoon, I was being interviewed by George, the manager of this National Trust stately home. I had asked to be a volunteer, helping in the gift shop at weekends. The interview was going well.
Suddenly George asked:
"How are you with depressed and upset women, Mr Thomas?"
"Call me Andrew, please. OK, I suppose. I'm the older brother of three sisters and my mother went through a messy divorce about five years ago. I was there for all of them. Why?"
"Andrew, your girlfriend having dumped you wouldn't change that?"
I sighed.
"I'd known for months that Alison and I were drifting apart. It wasn't a complete shock when she announced she was going to Thailand for a gap year, but yes, it hurt. I'll recover. But why do you ask?"
It was George's turn to sigh.
"The two women working in the shop at weekends, when you will be..."
I liked that statement. It assumed I was successful.
"...are hurting. The younger one, Anna with the Big Boobies..."
I raised my eyebrows at that description. George laughed.
"That's how she's known by everyone here. You'll see why. She is named after the picture 'Madonna with the Big Boobies' in the TV comedy 'Allo 'Allo. She doesn't mind. She revels in it. But Anna has recently been dumped by an abusive boyfriend and isn't her usual cheerful self. And the other woman Janice is her aunt. Janice is divorcing her husband who is and was an arsehole. He'd been with a much younger woman and tried to divorce Janice for her non-existent infidelity. She's reverted to using her maiden name of Janice Chandler instead of her married name as Mrs Smithers. Both of them have been unhappy recently and might want to unload their woes on you. That OK?"
"If I can help them, George, I will. It might take my mind off a non-existent girlfriend."
"If you do, Andrew, the benefits might be meeting Anna's Big Boobies and being hugged by Janice. They do that to me, but discreetly because I'm married. A series of whole weekends with Andrew who has no current girlfriend? You might be swamped."
"As I said, George, if I can, I'll help."
George looked at the office clock.
"OK. The shop is shutting in a couple of minutes. I'll take you to meet Anna with the Big Boobies, and Janice. Oops! I forgot to say - you've passed the interview and are now an approved volunteer starting 10 am tomorrow, Sunday."
"Thank you, George."

As we walked through the stately home towards the shop George asked:
"Have you got a green shirt, Andrew?"
"Yes."
"It will take a couple of days to order uniform in your size. We haven't got any that large in stock. I know they have at the regional office. Anna wears a man's sweater that would be your size. It's the only thing that would cover her big boobies. If you come to the office tomorrow at a quarter to ten I'll have a name badge for you. OK?"
"Yes, George. I'm not surprised you don't have any uniform large enough."
George looked up at me.
"How tall are you, Andrew?"
""It was on my application form, George - six feet seven."
We walked into the gift shop. The lighting had been turned down and the sign on the door said 'Closed'. The two women were on their knees shelf-stacking. They stood up as we walked in.
I could see straightaway why Anna was called 'Anna with the Big Boobies'. They were like large watermelons straining at her sweater. Janice was an older woman, with short-cut blonde hair. She might be a decade older than Anna. Janice was the sort of woman that if one of her daughters was a girlfriend or fiancée you would be happy if she grew up to be like her mother. They both gave us weak smiles.
"Ladies," George announced, "This is Andrew. He will be starting with you tomorrow morning. Please look after him and be considerate. His girlfriend recently dumped him."
"You too?" Anna said quietly.
"This is Anna with the Big Boobies." George said, "And Janice, Janice Chandler."
"Pleased to meet you," I said.
I might have said more but Anna was hugging me, her boobies spread across my chest. She turned her face up for a kiss. I couldn't refuse even if I had to bend a long way down to kiss her. Janice pushed Anna aside and accepted a hug. She was still hugging me as George left.
"You might need consideration, Andrew, after your girlfriend has left. But we need help too." Anna said.
"We do," added Janice, her voice muffled against my chest. My arms tightened around her. Anna held up a thumb in encouragement. I didn't know what she meant until Janice burst into tears against me. I held her body and stroked her hair. Anna brought a step stool and positioned it beside us before climbing on it to kiss me on a level.
A few minutes later I was sitting on a chair with Anna on one leg and Janice on the other. They took it in turns to complain about Anna's ex-boyfriend and Janice abusive husband. I didn't have to say anything, just accept their frequent kisses.
I had applied for this job as a volunteer to take my mind off my recently ex-girlfriend. It looked as if being a volunteer had fringe benefits. Anna's Big Boobies were pressed hard against my side as Janice rested on my shoulder.
"Shouldn't we be doing something in the shop?" I asked.
"Not really," Anna replied. "We were doing some minimal shelf stacking while waiting for George to tell us whether we had a new volunteer. We had done the major replenishments earlier when the number of customers reduced at the end of the opening hours."
"Now there will be three of us," Janice said, "we will rarely need more than two on the tills. Shelf stacking can be done during the day unless we are very busy which we rarely are."
"The only times we have a rush is if it has been a sunny day and rain comes unexpectedly," Anna said. "Even then, the rush is usually over in ten minutes. So we will have plenty of time for this..."
Anna hugged me harder. I was too aware that the nipples on her Big Boobies were erect and pressing into me.
"I thought we were supposed to be helping the National Trust, not..."
"...seducing Andrew?" Janice suggested. "Maybe it's because you are so large..."
"... and eminently huggable," Anna finished.
"I'm enjoying it," I said. "You two are making me forget Alison's departure."
Janice's face fell.
"I wish I could forget my ex-husband Paul as easily but while the divorce continues, I have to deal with it every day."
"Why?" I asked. I might have said more but Anna was kissing me.
"Why is he divorcing me?" Janice said, "Because Paul's found Amy
a younger woman who still believes his lies. Why can't I forget it? Because he is constantly accusing me of being unfaithful, when I wasn't."
"And I know she wasn't." Anna added. "I'm Janice's niece and I've been living with her ever since I started university and now while I'm doing my part time MBA. She hadn't looked at another man in all the time I've been with her."
"So Anna with the Big Boobies has a brain too?" I asked in an attempt at humour.
That was a mistake. Anna's face showed pain.
"Yes, I have. But my ex-boyfriend, Jason, only saw my Big Boobies. He treated me like a trophy. I was trying to study and he couldn't see the point."
"Ouch," I said. "That's not nice."
"It wasn't," Anna said. "I thought he loved me. Jason didn't. He just loved having the girl with the biggest boobies in town. But we know you have a brain. George told us a lot about you from your application form. Apart from being tall, you're a university lecturer..."
"A junior one," I said.
"Who is likely to a senior one next academic year," Janice said.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"I work in the university's personnel office. I know, as you do, that the recommendation for your promotion has gone to the Senate."
"You know more about me than I know about you two," I said.
"That's easily fixed," Janice said. "Are you free this evening, Andrew?"
"I could be. Why?"
"Then you are invited to share an evening meal with your two new colleagues, Andrew. You'll accept?"
"I would be delighted," I replied.
"And you might meet more of Anna's big boobies," Janice added.
"Is that possible?" I asked. Anna's big boobies were pressing their erect nipples against me.
Janice laughed.
"You'll see," she said.
