The Affair Of The Thirty-Nine Cufflinks - Plot & Excerpts
'Have you noticed Dorothy?' 'She's almost unnoticeable,' Gerry replied. 'I've never seen anybody who is so close to not being anything.' 'She hasn't left Clara's side for a second. And she's not spoken to anybody. But she can't take her eyes off you.' 'Really? I hadn't noticed. What excellent taste she must have.' 'Have a word with the poor girl, will you? I'll distract Clara.' 'OK.' Lady Burford moved towards Clara, who quickly saw her coming and turned to meet her. She took the Countess' hand. 'Lavinia, how very, very good of you it is to lay on all this. To open up your beautiful home to so many strangers is a really gracious act. The girls and I are so grateful. Without you, I just don't know what would have happened.' 'It's kind of you to say so.' 'No, it's not kind at all. How could I say less? You and George are genuinely good people. I just wish there was some way we could repay you.' In spite of herself, Lady Burford found herself softening. Clara was certainly capable of great charm.
