Venus Envy (1993)
“Ruru’s pride and joy, christened Zaca after her hero Errol Flynn’s yacht, did not add to the luster of the neighborhood. She trimmed her yard and mowed her lawn but a few of the neighbors winced every time they drove by the Zaca. Libby didn’t drive by at all. She swore the reason was not that Ruru lived in a modest section of town but rather that Ru fell down on the housekeeping tasks. A maid five days a week contributed to the dazzling appearance of Libby’s country club mansion, and when this ...was brought to her august attention she proclaimed that when she and Frank were married she had been the maid.
It was true that Ruru and her vacuum cleaner rarely saw each other and yes, there were crumbs on the kitchen counter, but what really drove Libby around the bend was the dogs. Two Jack Russells and two Dalmatians, one liver-spotted, controlled the house. They slept on the sofa, the chairs, the bed. One had chewed the carpet when it was a puppy but not at the ends. Instead, small holes dotted the surface of the carpet as though a huge moth had feasted on the threads.MoreLess
