Giselle, on the Right: “Whatever are you working on, darling?”
Veronique, on the Left: “Oh, I’m just jotting down a few notes for when the police arrive. Don’t mind me.”
Giselle: “The police? That seems rather intrusive. Why on earth would they do that?”
Veronique: “Well, I did just happen to kill the man who used to be sitting on the other side of me.”
Giselle: “Really, now? How exciting! Your life is so much more interesting than mine. May I ask what led to this development?”
Veronique: “It was absolutely horrible. He made a negative comment about my hat.”
Giselle: “How appalling! Clearly the man does not recognize Chanel when he sees it, so of course he had to die.”
Veronique: “Precisely. It was a mercy killing, really. Still, it won’t be long before some fool finds his body in the loo and proceeds to make a fuss about the discovery. You know how those working-class people are, always bellowing about something they don’t like.”
Giselle: “Perhaps we should depart, to avoid all that annoying mess with the commoners forgetting who has trust funds and who doesn’t.”
Veronique: “Are you daft? I haven’t finished my coffee yet.”
Previously published. No changes made, which is remarkable because I can rarely resist the urge to tinker. Stay tuned for the sequel, wherein the Man in the Loo has rudely refused to expire and he takes his revenge on Veronique by posing as a waiter and serving her next cup of coffee, just to see the expression on her face. The French are wry that way…

Mais bien sûr, j’attendrai! (I only had to look up one word…I can’t remember where I left my coffee cup but I can remember high school French🤦♀️🤷🏼♀️)

Oh, be still my heart. You also speak French? (Or at least vaguely remember the ability to do so, which is my case.) Your allure is increasing constantly…. 😉

Man In Loo returns as waiter bearing coffee? Never is it ever a good idea to piss off the people who prepare your frothy little latte.

On the flip side, if your frothy has not been prepared to your exact specifications, how far does one go with the revenge?

I can relate to all of this. Should one be alarmed?

Not at all, Osyth, not at all. Pray, finish your coffee so we may leave these commoners.
By the way, I love your shoes.

Osyth: I’m not alarmed at all. But I do have that fake passport ready, should you need it…
Christi: I thought we had tampered down this shoe fetish of yours. Do we need another internment at the Betty Ford Birkenstock facility? No judgement, just wondering…

But where is the clown who was holding the seltzer bottle? (on a right) An undercover policeman perhaps or “le flic inconneu” en francais!

I think the clown in this situation would be me. But perhaps I spend too much time with personal introspection. The delivery doctor at my birth advised me of such, and my parents had to sign a waiver…

Those hats were appalling. But then again, so were those tights. And those drop waisted dresses. And those off the shoulder coats. Yikes.

But despite the fashion horror, you and I both know that we would have worn such during our formative years, desperately yearning for validation. Okay, maybe that was just me….
