?I?m sure you misunderstood;? the concierge replied。
?Well; I?m sureyou misunderstood!? Blair shouted。 She had never been shy。 ?I heard what you
said。?
?Yes; ma?am。 Of course。 I?ll just need to have his Lordship pop by to sign the papers and the
matter will be settled。?
?He?s not married。 She?s hiscousin ;? Blair went on。 ?And I?m his girlfriend。? She was
practically shouting。 On the other side of the lobby the Italians turned to look。
The concierge blushed deeply。 ?If we can just keep our voices down。?
?Fuck that。? Blair had had it with England; with everyone?s polite prattle; with the British
insistence on quiet dignity。 Blair wasn?t interested in quiet or in dignity。 Fuck this bitch; fuck
Britain; fuck Lord Marcus and fuck his horsey cousin Camilla。 She suddenly wanted nothing more
than to be home。 ?You know what? I don?t want the room。 I want you to call British fucking
Airways and book me a ticket immediately。 One way; first class。 To New York。? Blair dug into her
bag and found her black American Express card; which she tossed onto the desk angrily。
?One way to New York; first class;? repeated the concierge。 ?Virgin has flights at eleven daily。
I?ll see if we can get you a seat。?
Virgin。 How appropriate。 Not。

can roll。
I just hope they reopen on schedule: the word is a certain star…let?s debut performance might
need a bit of tweaking。 Things areso grim; in fact; they?re shooting every scene she doesn?t
appearin first; in hopes that all her practice finally makes perfect。
Now that Barneys is closed for a while; I?m thinking of leavingtown for good?no more of this
popping back and forth oncharter jets and helicopters。 I know I said that things don?t getcooking
in the Hamptons for a while; yet?I usually wait until theFourth of July to hunker down for the
season?but I?ve beeng
