As she dialled she thought of Joyce, and what she’d make of the strange little man from Virginia, balding and square, an image she still had in mind as Roger answered the phone, his secretary putting him through,
“Hello Bette …”
He dropped the notion of calling her Elizabeth after their return from Virginia, seeming to deicide that it wasn’t really worth the trouble,
“Hi Roger,” Bette replied amicably, he annoyed her, but she was undergoing growth of character, realising that in this world dominated by males who controlled her little sister’s life it was her duty to set a reasonable example. She heard him rustling with papers and files, “I just called to chat to you about an idea we had …”
She heard him pause with interest, asking, “Really …?”
Bette smiled, “Really, in fact we’re making good progress, sort of,”
Roger’s tone was slightly belittling as he asked, “So you’ve met with the Board of Trustee’s then?”
Bette stammered, “Well, no … well, some of them,” she paused, “I’ve met her father …”
“You’ve met Jefferson?”
Bette nodded, caring little that Roger obviously couldn’t see her,
“And how did *that* go?” Roger asked,
“Badly, but then I hardly doubt you’re surprised about that,”
Roger paused, “No … look Bette,” he said stiffly, “I’m very pleased you feel you’re making progress with Charlotte, but there are ways in which you should approach this, and jumping in feet first with an off-the-wall idea isn’t any way to get those men on your side,”
Bette sighed, “How do you know it’s off the wall?”
“Because I know Charlotte, and I know she doesn’t want to be a part of anything ordinary anymore, but it may serve you well to know that many of those seemingly ‘ordinary’ things we give millions of dollars to every year help to generate an ongoing income which has put your sister through the best schools money can buy and now ensures that there’s a trust fund left for the two of you to work with …”
Suitably told, Bette paused to let his words sink in, “I have contacted my own lawyer,” she added meekly,
“Good,” said Roger, “give me her name …”
Bette smirked to herself as she said it, “Joyce Wishnia …”

i agree with honda90, thank you for this story and the nice long updates. It is one of my all time favorites because you really seem to understand the characters and speak in their voice incredibly well. I can’t wait to see where you go with this story! Thanks again for the great update and please post soon! :)
This story is one of my absolute favourite and I am so glad dat u’ve been posting regularly, many thanks. Can’t wait for the party PPS
I love this Sofa! The pace is perfect as you develop the characters and storyline. Alice is a trip, but I love this Lottie character! LMAO I think that Alice may have a match there. Can’t wait to see where you take this next. Post as soon as you can! Thanks Sofa :-))
How cute are Lottie and Jo? And how “cute” are Bette and Tina for that matter? Hickeys, at that hour of the morning, tut-tut. I like that Bette was willing to swallow pride and ask for photos for Al’s b-day surprise for Lottie… Speaking of, is the tape of Hels *that* bad? Unless she was wearing dodgy clothes (impossible, I’d imagine, for a Peabody) and singing karaoke off-key, I can’t think as to what the big deal is. She’s not the person she was then, and everyone knows it, so hopefully it’s not a problem. Anyway, why is Alice so set on showing it? Hmm, curiouser and curiouser. Great chapter, sofa. Cheers for the post!
Thanks for satiating me Sofa! Can’t wait to see what the deal is with the tape and what else Alice has planned at the party. Love this story!
B&T are hot and sweet, Lottie and Jo are cute, Helena and Alice are funny and cute. Please post more, thanks!
How will Bette handle Lottie having the money to finance their project? I hope that this project will bring them together. I love all the flirtation and can’t wait to read more!
no *you’re* the best girlfriend ever…hehe…ok, well now that i’ve let my secret out–that i am always tempted to gush a great deal more than i ever actually do–i’ll just say what i think. definitions aside, this story always feels epic…its got everything, birth, death, and the meanings of the daily things in between…and the sex is hot, because it lives in the tapestry you create with your writing…as always, baby, your writing is downright poetic. but nothing i can say here can really describe how i feel reading your stories…really…truely…i’ll stop now;) your writings are as beautiful as you are…xoxox
I can’t ever seem to get enough of this story…at least your generous enough to give large portions!!! Pls post soon…
The story gets better and better! Can’t wait for the Paris trip, that should be a lot of fun!
Wow, that Alice sure can make a production out of things, I hope she’s scheduled a bit of free time for socializing during the party. Too bad Jo and Lottie didn’t enlist her to help with the play, they would have had more free time and Alice could have worked off some of her excess energy. At while Peggy’s in town. Otherwise Helena might get ‘pressed’ into service. May I recommend the girls check out the Rue de Dragon? It’s been a while but there used to be some charming and unpretentious restaurants there. And the Marais is a good stroll away from the bulk of the tourists. And may I further that you make good use of the fact that you’ve got, however briefly, Bette and Tina, as well as Alice and Helena, in empty houses?
I agree with all of the above… can’t help but love Lottie, so unspoiled by all of her wealth… hope this party finally convinces her that she is truly loved.. and that she belongs … that’s what we all want really, to be loved and to belong to someone…….. love it as always…. thanks sofa!
Wow, love the Bette and Tina time together and how embarrassed Lottie was about the kiss. Can’t wait for more of this very intriquing story.
