Barty was literally ticking off the days to Kit’s wedding and the trip to England. It was only with a reunion with her family so near that she realised how much she loved and missed them all. She had bought her outfit – a beige silk suit from Oleg Cassini, who was said to be designing a lot of clothes for the beautiful Mrs John Kennedy – and had taken Jenna and Cathy shopping; it was the longest day she could ever remember. Finally she put her foot down and said it was either the next thing they saw, or they would go in what they had; and in Bonwit Teller they found an A-line dress and jacket for Jenna in green-blue taffeta which almost exactly matched her eyes, and something very similar in palest pink for Cathy.

Charlie had spent a fortune on a morning suit at J. Press and a large additional wardrobe for the trip, from just about every store in New York. When she queried the need for three overcoats and five suits, he looked at her with a certain malice and said, ‘I didn’t think you’d want to be ashamed of me.’

Christmas had been surprisingly all right. Things had been very cool between them until the girls came home when he suddenly became affectionate and expansive again; on the same day he found premises for a car showroom just off Park Avenue. It was terribly expensive, but she paid the vast deposit without a murmur; he responded by becoming extremely helpful, telling the girls how lucky they all were to have her, and buying her a gold bracelet from Tiffany. With her money. She thanked him effusively. Anything for a happy Christmas . . .

They had stayed in Manhattan; Izzie and Sebastian joined them on Christmas night for dinner. Sebastian had seemed very happy, overjoyed about Kit’s reunion with Celia, very proud of Izzie’s success – Neill & Parker had just won a pitch for a small chain of art shops, with Izzie’s copyline. He seemed completely unaware of any liaison between Izzie and Geordie. Barty supposed she was relieved; but it worried her just the same. She had seen too many secrets, buried for no matter how long, come painfully to light, to believe that any could be kept for ever.

He asked why the boys couldn’t have joined them: ‘I can see they wouldn’t celebrate Christmas, of course, but it would be fun to have them here. I like those fellows so much.’ And Izzie told him they had gone home to their mothers for the holiday, like the good Jewish boys they were.

‘I was hoping they’d come too,’ said Jenna, ‘they’re just so cute. Lucky you, Izzie, working with them all day. And to have both of them in love with you as well.’

‘Nick and Mike,’ said Izzie, genuinely astonished, ‘in love with me? Jenna, don’t be ridiculous, of course they’re not, I’m just – just someone who works for them. More like a sister than anything.
