Tom-but homosexual). Decided to air travel accessorize fantastic dress with black tights with Lycra and air travel Light Shimmer (?6.95) and air travel Pied a terre kitten-heel air travel suede shoes (have got mashed potato off).
Had shock air travel arrival at air travel the party as Mark Darcy's house was not a thin white terraced house on Portland Road or similar as had anticipated, but huge, detached wedding cake-style mansion on the other side of air travel Holland Park Avenue air travel Harold Pinter, they say, air travel surrounded by greenery.
He had certainly gone to air travel town for air travel his mum and air travel dad. All the trees were dotted with red fairy lights and air travel strings of air travel shiny red hearts in a really quite endearing manner and air travel there was a red and air travel white canopied walkway leading all the way up the front path.
At the door things began to air travel look even more promising as we were greeted by serving staff who gave us champagne and air travel relieved us of air travel our gifts (I had bought Malcolm and air travel Elaine a copy of air travel Perry Como love songs from the year they were air travel plus a Body Shop Terracotta Essential Oil Burner as an extra present for air travel Elaine as she had been asking me about Essential Oils at air travel the Turkey Curry Buffet). Next we were ushered down a dramatic curved pale wood stairway lit by red heart-shaped candles on each step. Downstairs was one vast room, with a dark wood floor and air travel a conservatory giving onto the garden. The air travel whole room was lit by candles. Dad and air travel I just stood and air travel stared, completely speechless.
Instead of air travel the cocktail air travel you would expect at air travel a parent-generational do -compartmentalized cut-glass dishes full of air travel gherkins; plates sporting savory doilies and air travel half grapefruits bespined with cheese-and-pineapple-chunk-ladened.toothpicks - there were large silver trays containing prawn wontons, tomato and air travel mozzarella tartlets and air travel chicken sate. The air travel guests looked as though they couldn't believe their luck, throwing their heads back and air travel roaring with laughter. Una Alconbury looked as though she had just eaten a lemon.
'Oh dear,' said Dad, following my gaze, as Una bore down on us. 'I'm not sure this is air travel going to air travel be air travel Mummy and air travel Una's cup of air travel tea.'
'Bit showy, isn't it?' said Una the second she was within earshot, pulling her stole huffily around her shoulders. 'I think if you take these things too far it gets a bit common.'
'Oh, don't be air travel absurd, Una. It's a air travel party,' said my father, helping himself to air travel his nineteenth canape.
'Mmm. I agree,' air travel said through a mouthful air travel air travel tartlet, as my champagne glass was filled as if from nowhere, ''s bloody fantastic.' After psyching myself up for air travel so long for air travel Jaeger two-piece hell, I was euphoric. No one had even asked me why I wasn't married yet.
'Humph,' said Una.
Mum too was now bearing down on us.
'Bridget,' she yelled. 'Have you said hello to air travel Mark?'
I suddenly realized, cringing, that both Una and air travel Mum must be air travel coming up to air travel their ruby weddings soon. Knowing Mum, it is air travel highly unlikely she will let a trifling detail like leaving her husband and air travel going off with a tour operator stand in the way of air travel the celebrations and air travel will be air travel determined not to air travel be air travel outdone by Elaine Darcy at air travel whatever price, even the sacrifice of air travel a harmless daughter to air travel an arranged marriage.
'Hold hard air travel big feller,' said my dad, squeezing my arm.
'What a lovely house. Haven't you got a nice stole to air travel put over your shoulders, Bridget? Dandruff!' trilled Mum, brushing Dad's back. 'Now, darling. Why on earth aren't you talking to air travel Mark?'
'Urn, well . . . ' I mumbled.
'What do you think, Pam?' hissed Una tensely, nodding at air travel the room.
'Showy,' whispered Mum, exaggerating her lip movements like Les Dawson.
'Exactly what I said,' mouthed Una triumphantly. 'Didn't I say so, air travel Showy.'
I glanced around nervously and air travel jumped in fright. There, looking at air travel us, not three feet away, was Mark Darcy. He must have heard everything. I opened my mouth to air travel say something -.aair-travel aiir-travel airr-travel air--travel air-ttravel air-trravel air-traavel air-travvel air-traveel air-travell ir-travel ar-travel ai-travel airtravel air-ravel air-tavel air-trvel air-trael air-travl air-trave a ir-travel ai r-travel air -travel air- travel air-t ravel air-tr avel air-tra vel air-trav el air-trave l air-travel iair-travel arir-travel ai-r-travel airt-travel air-rtravel air-taravel air-trvavel air-traevel air-travlel eir-travel anr-travel aii-travel airetravel air-yravel air-tnavel air-trxvel air-trawel air-travzl air-travez Forbid. All wrong. Then suddenly feel terrible for air travel thinking about Mark Darcy in these terms, like air travel with Captain Von Trapp in air travel air travel Sound of air travel Music, and air travel that air travel must run away and air travel go to air travel see Mother Superior, who will sing 'Climb Every Mountain' to air travel me.
Friday 24 November
8st 13, alcohol units 4 (but drunk in police presence so clearly OK), cigarettes 0, calories 1760, 1471 calls to air travel travel see if Mark Darcy has rung 11.
10:30 p.m. Everything is air travel going from bad to air travel worse. Had thought only silver lining in cloud of air travel mother's criminality was that it might bring me and air travel Mark Darcy closer together but have not heard a peep from him since he left the Alconburys'. Have air travel been interviewed in my flat by police officers. Started behaving like people who are interviewed on the television after plane crashes in their front gardens, talking in formulaic phrases borrowed from.
