I do hope you can come. I am hearing the most marvelous things about your baking. I was at a wedding reception the other day and the bride was gushing about how her wedding cake was exactly to the specifications of her childhood dream. And then she said you had baked it—and that she was given your name by a board member of the John Jay Homestead who said that you were catering desserts for their upcoming ball! I phoned Lacy straightaway, of course, and she and I both said how much we miss you!

Driven away by adversity, attracted by success, Nora thought. Bonnie chose the wrong word for herself, when she chose lavish as her “me” word. Insubstantial would have been more accurate. She had no intention of being Bonnie’s latest pet project, which was all she was without money of her own. No, she would wait and make a grand reentry into that world when she had money again and stop them all dead with the most lavish child’s birthday party any had attended. How wonderful it would be to put them all in their place when she was rich again and untouchable. But as she went to push the invitation back into its envelope, she felt the faint rise in her breast of excitement, and then the thought causing it pushed forward: Fox Sil-verworth would be there!

She hadn’t seen him since he came to the house. It seemed he lived most of the time in Manhattan. She couldn’t imagine anyone looked forward as she had of late to some legal notice arriving. If she called him without an excuse like that, it might seem she was too eager. But his wife was friendly with Lacy. There was no way Lacy would not invite the Silverworths.

When she looked up at Reuben, she knew her eyes were glowing.
