“So who is this travesty of a human being,” Peggy questioned, “who had the infernal balls to leave you forsaken on this fine and fair evening?”
Bette lifted her glass and took a sip. “It’s not important, Peggy. But I was supposed to meet Franklin to discuss the possibility of my return to the CAC. He said he was involved in a meeting which may detain him. Apparently it has.”
Peggy noted the dejection in Bette’s voice.
A server returned promptly to the table to place her requested drink in front of Peggy.
“Shall I take your orders now, Madame?” he inquired hesitantly, a tremble detected in his demeanor, seemingly aware of whose auspicious table he was serving.
Peggy lifted the potion and glanced at Bette and then at the young man.
“Garçon, I will be sure to summon your presence when we are indeed ready,” she sharply replied, effectively dismissing him.
As she watched with a smirk the young man turn to leave, Peggy partook of a healthy dose of gin. Replacing the glass on the table, she called out, “Garçon!”
The tuxedoed and obviously novice waiter quickly returned.
“You’re ready, Madame?”
“I’m ready for you to remove these empty glasses from the table! Use your eyes and your brain, young man!”
He scurried to withdraw Bette’s refuse and hurried off.
“I think you may have scared him, Peggy,” Bette laughed as she took another drink, a warmth unarming her.
“No matter. He’ll leave tonight with a swagger after he counts his generous gratuities,” she grinned. “I like to make them think they’ve really earned bounty. And he’ll no doubt enjoy bragging to his friends, embellishing the tales of his supposed mistreatment. I shall be known as the biggest bitch this side of Nova Scotia.”
Bette laughed before wrapping her lips around another olive.
And Peggy watched her contemplatively before asking as she spread her arms, “So, my dear Bette, why do you consider returning to the CAC when the world is at your doorstep?”
Bette thoughtfully considered Peggy’s question as she watched the elder woman’s hands discreetly wipe the corners of her mouth.
