[FONT="]{John meets two strange women . . } One manipulates to protect her children, the other to uncover her past.

[FONT="]Obviously, there are longer and better ways to say the same thing, but I'm trying to keep this short and snappy for a query. Does it work, or is it just silly? Arg, I've read it so many times in the last 24 hours I can no longer see it clearly.
