Re: In praise of Emily

From Mags
To James
cc Jezz and Emily

James, good morning. Please pick me up at 6 pm this evening-make sure that you are very prompt. I want some Brahms on the CD player down to Brighton, please have a selection ready. I don’t want to talk with you so please don’t plead. You will take me direct to CC’s flat and wait in the car. Remember what Jezz has taught you about car etiquette, getting the door etc. You must bring some food and a sleeping bag. You might have to sleep in the car overnight.

Our restaurant table is booked for 9 pm so be sure to have the car warmed and ready. You will address CC as Sir and me as M’am. Don’t slip on that detail, be good. After the meal we will return to CC’s place. Remember your manners and i will tell Emily how well you did.
