In an elegantly upholstered wing chair, Savoy flips through British motorcar magazines, and appears to ignore everyone, including me.
Nellie’s cousin, Evangeline, the mayor’s wife, leans against the bar.
”What can I get you?” I ask from behind the bar.
Evangeline laughs conspiratorially. ”So, you’d fly to New Orleans without your husband?”
Savoy gives her lips a slight pursing twitch, that quickly disappears.
I hold up a stainless steel cocktail shaker. ”How about a Rob Roy, a Sazerac, a martini, perhaps?”
Across the room, Mother is deep in conversation with Nellie and The Mayor. Louanne and Gator hang back near the French doors that open onto the porch, as if readying for an escape.
Evangeline calls back to her husband, ”Martinis Bud, watch me now!”
His attention peels away for a moment to her, then quickly back to Nellie. ”Some days, like the one I had today, I wish you’d run again.” He ends with a sad, then growing sadder laugh.
”What’s the problem, Bud?” Nellie takes his arm, as he joins her on the couch.
”A dirty martini, the dirtier the better,” Evangeline finally decides. ”So, what’d you think of our little town?”
”Town?” I shake her martini, then drop in an olive.
”Honey, there’s civilization a few miles from here! Over where I live.”
Bud’s voice booms from the couch. ”Believe it or not, we need a public decency ordinance to stop, if you can believe it, people from showing off their backsides in public.”
”As if that weren’t apparent.” Nellie sadly shakes her head.
”As if you’d draw the line at that.” My mother adds.
”As if anybody listens.” finishes The Mayor.
”There went your tiny civilization.” Savoy cracks in her British accent to Evangeline.
”You are such a snob.” Evangeline sneers before stomping off.
Savoy slides a look over at me. ”Conceit is the foundation of culture, don’t you think, Bette?”
From across the room, Nellie sends Savoy a silent signal — Gator and Louanne need attending.
Then, Mother appears at my elbow.
”What’ve you gotten, so far?”
”Me? Drink orders. Mother get me a crossword puzzle, or a racing form, or something.”
”How about a bar stool?” She looks around hopefully, but finding none. ”The Mayor and Nellie go way back.”

Yes! Update! This is getting more complicated for Bette? What the heck Savoy wants for Bette to do?
And Tina. Is there trouble in the horizon for her? Gambling problem for Aaron? Damn!
Thanks for the update BB.
It leaves me wanting more, especially now we have an ‘English Rose’ in there :-)
Don’t make me wait too long for the next post !
Hmm, what the hell Bette landed in? The story has so many twist, it keeps you captivated.
Hope there will be not trouble for Tina and her job.
Thanks for the update!
Sounds like Tina and Bette are in for some trouble. Enjoyed it
Trouble? Not really. But things to discover. Principally, I’m interested in your thoughts on Savoy, and the other cast of characters you met at the Dinner Party. I’m writing and beta testing a longer story here, with The L Word cast of characters, for a film script. The screenplay, (beta testing here in prose) will feature the strong female leads I’ve introduced, and an unfolding environmental theme that’s dramatically set in an environment both beautiful, but with a tragic past.
I’d enjoy hearing what you think.

MARY asked BETTE to come to her.BETTE meets NELLIE who is being poisoned by someone,SAVOY is a whistleblower on the run,the MAYOR’s son is in jail,the MAYOR’s wife is eating herself into an early grave and now MARY wants BETTE to entertain SAVOY(who hasn’t met TINA yet)who talks about BP(british petroleum)with GATOR and oil spills.Very twisty but entertaining especially if Aaron is gambling the movie away and ALICE wants to know about ms psycho.continue please

Absolutely nailed it! How involved can Bette get with this issue, she’s got Tina and Angelica to consider, how risky will this be? Also, what’s happening with the film. Bette and Tina have already been through so much, can they both deal with these new challenges together? Roll on the next installment…
Blackbird… Always a hidden gem! An ode to NYFW? The iconic Iris Apfel? In the last chapter, too ! Whoa Nellie! ! Very nice touch!
I am an admirer of these amazing photos
you put to accompany this story,
I must confess that I saved a few on my computer.
I hope Bette return home soon.
The entire constellation.
Bette does return in the next story – The Good Sister – https://lesfan.com/?p=92437
Please enjoy! Blackbird

This chapter has left me in so many directions with questions: Politics; gambling problems; Tina’s sister;
Shane’s mother; BP oil flow causing copiousness environmental problems; spark my interest in Bette’s mother’s abundance of money…The new character Savoy fits her name to perfection wonder where she
will lead us; can’t see Bette obliging her mother getting it on with her…again you have plenty of material here to continue keeping the readers anxious awaiting for the next chapter…#GreatJob…
