The Crown Rests – 3
Tina was getting a bit tired of Bette’s bossy manner and wanted to get Bette to explain herself. However, the letter and the thought of a meeting a Scotland Yard was quite intriguing. And she really didn’t have that much work to occupy her at the moment.
“OK I’ll get my coat but you better have a good explanation for making me leave all my work!”
While Tina went off to get her things Bette made a phone call, the phone was picked up after one ring.
“McCutcheon!”
“Does Wonder Woman take time off from fighting crime in order to meet a pal for lunch these days?”
“As I live and breathe – Ms Bette Porter QC, scourge of the criminal fraternity. How are you Bette? How long has it been seen we’ve seen each other?”
“I’m not sure, but however long it’s been it’s been too long.”
“Look, I’m just on my way to see the Assistant Commissioner, you mentioned lunch –
“Superb choice, but I need to come by your office first.”
Sure, swing by about 12:15 I should be free by then.”
“By the way I’ll have someone with me, be warned for my eyes only!”
They both hung up laughing.
Bette met up with Tina in the clerk’s office. “Bob, Miss Kennard and I will be unavailable for the rest of the day.”
Tina looked at Bette raising a quizzical eyebrow. Bette returned the look with a wink and a whispered “Trust me; this will be much more exciting than sitting in Eric’s office writing an opinion on” She paused, “Oh whatever it is that you’re working on.” At this the clerks in the office sniggered. Tina marched out of the office and was waiting on the steps as Bette approached her.
“Hold on there Speedy Gonzalez, I thought we were going together. I’ll let you in to a secret – 3 inch Manolo Blahniks are not best suited to power walking!”
As Tina turned to face her Bette stepped back (a little it must be said) out of fear. Tina’s cheeks were tinged pink and her eyes were aflame with anger.
“Bette, I’m not in the mood for your jokes and I’d prefer that you didn’t demean my work like that in front of the clerks. You know how hard it is to get and maintain a reputation in Chambers.”
“I’m truly sorry Tina it’s just that I’m a little excited.”
Bette looked so contrite, almost like a little girl that Tina couldn’t remain angry with her for long and her warm smile reappeared and was directed at Bette.
“So am I forgiven?”
“Yes, but I may have to start recording your misdemeanours as it’s not something I find particularly attractive in you”!
“Should I take that to mean that I have qualities you do find attractive?” asked Bette coquettishly.
“Bette as an experienced barrister you should know better than to ask a question to which you don’t know the answer!” said Tina through a chuckle, if only she knew how attractive I do find her she thought.
