The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan
“Ragostin” maintained his office, I carried quite a load of “society papers” in my arms.
“Good morning, Miss Meshle!” cried my irrepressible page-boy, holding the door open for me.
“If you say so, Joddy.” Going indoors felt grim despite the May sunshine streaming through the chintz curtains. I felt still shadowed by last night’s odd encounter. But it scarcely mattered, compared to the problem of the peculiar pink fan. Just as my reading material burdened my arms, the mystery surrounding Lady Cec...ily burdened my mind. Why had she so cleverly slipped to me her paper “toy,” of which I could make nothing?
Sighing, I sent Joddy for newspapers, rang for tea, then settled at my desk with the Grub Street periodicals to enrich my knowledge of society some more. Lord Globe-trotter will address the Ladies of Inanity on the topic of his recent voyage down the Nile…The Honourable Miss Disapproval breaks her engagement to The Honourable Mr. Disappointment…To soften and beautify the hair, beat up the whites of four eggs into a froth, rub it into the roots, and leave it there…New for spring, the bias-cut invisible-seamed wrap morning-dress…I truly shall go mad…Colour-themed entertaining the latest rage; the yellow luncheon, the pink— Wait a moment.MoreLess
