Chapter 34

I had a good start to my day, a little horseback riding, my exercise routine and a large breakfast. What more could a boy ask for?

I picked up Chief Redstone as agreed. I took him to the studio offices, saving him a lot of nonsense at the gate. Mr. Monroe came out and greeted the Chief. I received a curt, “Sir Richard,” as he led the Chief away. He did turn and tell me that they would take care of the Chief’s travel home.

Boy I guess I had made him angry. Tough, he started it.

I spent the rest of the day flying. It was in two sessions as the instructors didn’t have more than four hours open at a time. I did eat lunch as they refueled the plane between instructors. I wanted to get this out of the way.

At dinner I shared how I was in the dog house at the studio. Dad thought it was funny and Mum got that look on her face. I hastened to tell her that it wasn’t that big of a deal with me, as I wasn’t certain that I even wanted to continue acting until I had completed all my schooling.

That opened up the discussion of where I would go to school. As usual that went in circles. To break the circle I brought up Eddie and me finding a scout troop. Mum and Dad were very supportive. Well supportive to the point that I was tasked with calling the scout council to find troops in our area.

After dinner I hit the school books for a while but got sidelined in reading one of the referenced books in European history. It was about the Kings of England. What a bloody bunch! Murder and treason were the name of the day. Talk about survival of the fittest.

Today’s royal family had been out of true power long enough they shouldn’t be included. Well maybe they had gone from the sword to the stiletto, something to keep in mind.

That brought up the picture of Queen Elizabeth in crown and robes stalking the Palace Halls. It was a good thing I was in my room with the door closed as I laughed like a loon.

When I calmed down I called it a night with the school books and read about the adventures of NYPD Detective Baley and his partner Olivaw.

The next morning had a typical start to the day. After breakfast I call the BSA office listed in the white pages. They described several troops in the Beverly Hills Area. The most likely was Troop 33 who met in a ‘scout house’ behind El Rodeo School. Their meetings were on Wednesday nights at 6:30 so I planned to be there with Eddie tomorrow night.

I no sooner hung up and the phone rang. I answered, “Jackson House.”

It was for me, the studio wanted me to come in for some costume fittings. I told them I was available this morning and was told to come on over.

I noticed the T-Bird was low on gas.
