“Mac let me introduce you to Ms Tina Kennard, junior at Rivercourt, a worthy adversary who soundly thrashed me at the High Court today”
“Very nice to meet you Ms Kennard”
“Please call me Tina”
“Then Tina it is. Ok here are the menus, will you have your usual Bette? Momma Liliana is in the cucina today”
“Then the ‘usual’ for me and Tina for you?”
Tina made her selection from the menu and Bette ordered some red wine.
“Hey Tina, the food is so good here what say we eat our food and then get into the work stuff?”
“Ok, fine by me. What do you want to talk about?”
“How about telling me a little of yourself, you know where you grew up, school, college and the like?”
“Well, I grew up in the North East, went to
“Is there a tradition of lawyers in your family?”
“No, actually both my brothers are doctors in the footsteps of my parents. What about you?”
“Well, both my parents were barristers, you may have heard of my father, The Honourable Mr Justice Melvin Porter.”
“He’s your Dad? I love that guy he has such a wonderful legal mind”
“Yeah, no pressure eh? On my mother’s side the successful ones became barristers and the less so solicitors.”
They both laughed at this joke.
They continued to talk and swap stories; laughing and sighing at each others stories and before they knew it they had finished eating and were on their third grappa. They both yawned at the same time.
“Oh God Tina we haven’t even mentioned your query. I’m sorry I was really enjoying myself, I haven’t laughed so much in ages.”
“That’s ok I was enjoying myself as well.”
Bette’s happiness all of a sudden dissipated as she realised the evening was coming to an end and she didn’t want it to. How could she prolong it or get to see Tina again? There was a companionable silence while the waited for Maco to return Bette’s credit card. “Well feint heart never won fair maid.” Thought Bette.
Meanwhile Tina was having similar thoughts. “How can I get to see her again, I’ve already used the advice excuse and she’s paid her forfeit. Well, she probably sees me a kid, good for short term amusement. She probably felt obliged.”

lovin it!!!!!!!!especially being a northern girl myself!!!!!
God..can’t wait for you to take us to the English Countryside.
Very nice, I am looking forward to see how the weekend in Essex goes, daddy will definitely not like that Bette has brought someone home for the weekend. I am looking forward to your next post.
absolutely beautiful, love the language and the story…can’t wait for more
I am absolutely amazed at the level of creativity of you folks here on fanfiction. I love this story—Tina and Bette as barristers ;-) Hope they have some bouts in court—other ones, I mean. I, too, cannot wait for the trip to Essex.
So Bette’s an “Essex girl”?!! It’s so good to have another home country story – very enjoyable and looking forward to your updates.
I like this, looking forward to reading more.Thank you.
Thank you for your author’s note! I have to admit though, that I had to ask my wonderful guide, what exactly the “Bullring” is. Would have enjoyed seeing the marketplace in action!I will be going to the convention, and after that will be spending about a month visiting…and although I know Tracey (tbsaver) is going to show me as much of your beautiful and historic country as she can, I will be exploring on my own some of the time while she is at work. Really enjoying the story…the different use of the language…”Mumsie’s!!” Looking forward to the next chapter!! Thanks!!
Well Seahurst told me that I needed to read this story and I am so glad she did. I love to see B and T in different environments, and lets face it you don’t see them in England that often!!!!….Fantastic start, I love it!
LOOOOOOOOve it, Keep it coming and soon.
I have a feeling Melvin won’t like Tina even though T & B aren’t a couple yet.
Let’s hope in this story, Melvin is completely smitten by one Ms. Tina Kennard. I would be nice to have one story where there are no obsticles for them to hurdle. Nice story… Kudo’s to our sister on the other side of the Atlantic.
I love their wording! Learnt a lot from your story. Thanks. Pls post again soon.
