Chapter Eight

Call me Diana, not Princess Diana.

—Princess Diana

The week after we had our crowns, Lizabett brought in another princess quote.

We giggled about what we would do if we were really princesses.

Lizabett wanted to knight her brothers and send them off to rescue other damsels in distress—with the added request that they bring her back a stuffed dragon or two. Carly said she’d build an all-pink castle by the beach in Malibu—something with turrets so she could look out to the ocean. Becca said she’d have real hot chocolate, none of the mix kind, brought to her every morning on a silver tray along with the New York Times. Becca likes to know any bad news right away in the morning.

Castles and chocolate were too rich for me, and I had no desire for any kind of news early in the morning, so I said I’d settle for having a butler. The others teased me about why I would want a butler, but I didn’t tell them. In the books I had read, a butler always seemed to stop any unpleasantness at the door. He didn’t let trouble into his mistress’s house. I figured a good butler could do that in my life. When I thought about it some more, I realized a butler was the closest thing to a father a grown woman can have and still be totally independent.
