Oleander Girl
“Mrs. Bose turns on the recessed lights and gives the elegantly arranged dining table a considering look. But instead of the satisfaction she usually feels, she is nagged by doubt. She has walked a razor’s edge trying to create the right mix of taste and wealth: enough but not too much. Mr. and Mrs. Bhattacharya are coming to dinner, an event signaling a new intimacy between the families that Mrs. Bose desires yet shrinks from. It is a crucial night. She hopes that by the end of the evening, Bha...ttacharya will sign the partnership papers the Boses have drawn up based on previous discussions. This is why the right impression is so important. If Bhattacharya thinks their finances are precarious (and they are, more each day), he might shy away. If he thinks they’re too well-off to be appropriately appreciative of his contribution (because that’s what Mr. Bhattacharya likes, to be appreciated and preferably revered), then, too, he might decline. With that in mind, she has chosen her second-best Wedgwood set rather than the Spode.MoreLess
