“Well, doesn’t that just take the biscuit,” Aunt Butty said after gulping back a rather large glass of sweet sherry which Mr. Singh quickly refilled before placing the crystal decanter on the side table and moving away like a silent shadow. “What an adventure this has been. Danger at every turn!”
“Hardly that,” Varant murmured, crossing one leg neatly over the other.
Aunt Butty ignored him. “Ophelia and I were practically arrested, chased by a lunatic, sneered at by a police detective. I wouldn’t have been surprised if we’d been murdered in our beds!”
Did I mention my aunt can be a tad over-dramatic? No one had been going to murder us, and North had never once sneered at her. Me, on the other hand, he’d been fond of sneering at.
“I’m glad it all came out all right in the end,” Chaz said heartily. “It really is too bad the Astoria Club is closed now. Such an entertaining place.”
“Where will you find amusement?” Varant asked dryly, taking a sip of his sherry.
Chaz waggled his eyebrows. “I’ve heard of a new place. Very underground. Very hush-hush.” He turned to me. “Darling, get your dancing togs. We must check it out.”
Aunt Butty grabbed the decanter and poured herself more sherry. “Oh, dear. Here we go again.”
The End.
