* Sissy Elspeth Radcliffe * Dearest Barbara, So sorry I’m not there to let you in darling, it couldn’t be helped. I had to change my hair colour appointment with Mauricio; he’s out of town next week and my wave couldn’t wait. Have that ‘Big Do’ at the Breast Cancer Foundation coming up. It’s all so exciting. You understand. I left instructions with the doorman to see you up with you’re your luggage etc. I hope he was helpful. So glad you’ve arrived. Make yourself at home. You remember where the guestroom is. I’ll be back by late afternoon, at the latest, I promise. Don’t worry; we’ll have a grand ole time. I’ll cancel a few things out of my schedule, if I have to, … packed you know… Can’t wait to hear about Jennifer’s wedding. So sorry we couldn’t make it Babs, you know that don’t you, You remember I told you Charles was offered a golf package in the Scottish Highlands, a standard bonus, - what a gorgeous property… he just couldn’t say no, even though it was Jen’s important day. I know I could have come on my own, but Charles insisted. What’s a girl to do? You explained to her I hope. She loved the bird from Tiffany’s, I’m sure. All the girls love Tiffany’s. So great you’re here. How long did you say you were staying? You left so quickly last visit. We hardly had time to schmooze. BTW, if I’m not back by dinnertime, there’s Chinese in the freezer. - Sissy * word count 252
