In no time Jaclyn joins us, a drink in her hand.<br/><br/><strong>“I rather like that outfit Jaclyn!”</strong>I chuckle.<strong>“Greaves, he of the rules, unofficial, but that’s what everyone says—he of the rules—he’s testifying in D.C. tomorrow.  We shan’t have a worry about dress code.”</strong>I look at a white-coated server, gesture to Jaclyn’s drink and signal for two—he nods.<strong>“Of course, I would defend you two as beauty being entitled to certain privileges.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“Did you find your accommodations comfortable?”</strong>Before Jaclyn can answer, the drinks arrive.  I hand one to Miss Walters, then raise my glass,<strong>“To new acquaintances and the growing seedlings of new friendship!  <em>Hee-hee!</em>”</strong><br/><br/>The toast made with glasses raised, I say to the two beauties,<strong>“Well let me be the unofficial host and tell you about this place.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“It’s not just aged wood paneled rooms and old members. The Club actually promotes opportunities for members to participate as, they say ‘leading’ voices in civic, philanthropic and cultural affairs.  The membership experience? Striving for stimulating.  Mostly successful. ”</strong>I smile warmly at the two.<strong>“And lifestyle? Freedom to choose a lifestyle.  <em>Hee-hee!</em> That’s what they say.  Even women members no less—or almost.  Three foundations, even maintain a public affairs department. ”</strong>I wave my hand grandly,<strong>“. . . collected art, American, but there is talk of collecting under-represented countries.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>“But listen to me.  Prattling on about the club.  I hope it would not be forward to suggest a ‘who am I?’  I’d love to hear your story Olivia and I know some of Jaclyn’s background but it can’t hurt me, a devotee, to hear some of her charming experiences—she has interests in resorts, wonderful!”</strong><br/><br/>I smile and wave to a passing member.  I walk to a table and hold chairs out for the two.  It’ll be interesting to learn more about each—this new woman and Jaclyn.<br/>
