“Where’s the goddamn coffee?”

In the commercial-style kitchen at 4000 Beverly Drive in Highland Park, Rebecca Fenney was opening and slamming cabinet doors, trying to find the coffee beans and the grinder so she could make her own coffee for the first time in three years, angry and agitated because her anxiety and fear had increased exponentially. Had her husband fucked up a good thing? Was losing Consuela just the beginning—the beginning of the end? The arrest of the Fenney maid would be the main topic at every luncheon of Highland Park ladies this Monday. What would they think of Rebecca Fenney now? How would it affect her chances to chair the Cattle Barons’ Ball?

“What’s gonna happen to Consuela, Mother?”

Sitting at the table were the two little girls.

“I don’t know, Boo. Eat some breakfast.”

Pajamae jumped up. “I can cook, Mrs. Fenney. I cook for Mama all the time, eggs, bacon, biscuits, grits—”

“Skip the grits.” Rebecca tried another cabinet. “Where’s the coffee?”

Pajamae was now pulling out frying pans and utensils and dragging a chair to the range. She climbed up.

“Where-as. This is a cool stove.”

Rebecca gave up on coffee. “I’ll be downstairs on the Stairmaster. You girls try not to start a fire. We’ve got to get another maid. Soon.”
