"Oh, Wilbur, Wilbur, Wilbur — " said my mother as we watched, "is that really your sister?"

I made a bitter joke — without smiling. "Either your only daughter, Mother, or the sort of anteater known as an aardvark," I said.

Chapter 23

MOTHER was not up to a confrontation

with Eliza. She retreated to her suite upstairs. Nor did I want the servants to witness whatever grotesque performance Eliza had in mind — so I sent them to their quarters.

When the doorbell rang, I myself answered the door.

I smiled at the aardvark and the cameras and crowd. "Eliza! Dear sister! What a pleasant surprise. Come in, come in!" I said.

For form's sake, I made a tentative gesture as though I might touch her. She drew back. "You touch me, Lord Fauntleroy, and I'll bite you, and you'll die of rabies," she said.
