"What's your pleasure, Celeste?" Pierre asked.
Celeste smiled wearily.
The usual, Pierre. A double margarita with a
Falstaff chaser."
"Did you watch the last part of the Olympics?"
Pierre asked.
"No, dear. I've been on the campaign trail, you
know. I did manage to attend the playoffs between
the Bellevue Pythons and the Lincoln Vipers. Fas
cinating game, that was."
"Who won?" Pierre asked.
"Oh, it was a tie," Celeste said. "Ah, here come all
my friends and neighbors. Bring us a pitcher of
your finest, Pierre."
Harley and Otis, still dazzled from their New
York visit, stumbled in, Addison Steele, impecca
ble as always, followed, with Antoinette Chateau
briand, who wore, the Hope diamond especially
for the occasion.
Behind them was Bernina' Kenmore Singer,
sewing-machine heiress and champagne contrib
utor, Mrs. Hester Lewis with her two sons Huey
and Sinclair, Cooper Black and Lady Baskerville,
and Celeste's newest assistant.
When" all had been settled, Celeste spoke.
"My dear friends, it's a pleasure to have you all
together in one place," she said, a bit thickly. "I
know it may seem strange to talk now of future
plans when the present looms so brightly before
us. But the press wants to know, and as public
figures, we have an obligation to tell them. Begin
your questions, ladies and gentlemen."
A representative from The Plagiarist spoke up.
"Miss Underwood, have you any more cam
paign promises with which to enlighten us?"
"No," Celeste said. "I'm simply sticking with my
original plans, which is something few politicians
do these days. I still want new furniture for the
White House, if I don't ha ve to raise taxes to do it.
Maybe 111 take it our of the military budget."
"What about you, Mr. Steele?" another reporter
asked.
"I think I shall take to raising orchids, and read
ing Wilde in the cool of the evening," he said. "The
hectic pace of American campaigning has been

terribly exhausting."
"Otis, what about you? You've got a thriving
soda pop company."
"Oh, I'm selling Perky Lite, and taking a long
vacation. Running a company was all very well
when I was in college, but now I have to go into the
real world. Caribbean tours, houses by the ocean,
things like that."
Celeste ordered another round to break the
monotony of the reporter's questions, and laziiy
addressed Harley.
"Harley, what are we going to do with the
National Intruder?"
"Well, I though we should keep it, just for old
time's sake" he said. "We can't have too many
changes around here."
