Title: Sauce for the Goose Author: celandineb Fandom: The King's Speech Pairing: Elizabeth/Myrtle (future) Rating: general Length: 100 words Summary: Elizabeth and Myrtle have a chat one evening. Note: For cruisedirector, because I told her I would write some Elizabeth/Myrtle.
"You do know what our husbands are doing, don't you?"
Myrtle's voice was throaty, conspiratorial. She had had the best part of a bottle of wine in the past hour, Elizabeth realized. Not that Elizabeth was completely sober either.
"Practicing for tomorrow's speech," Elizabeth said. "The king said that Mr. Logue had a new relaxation technique they were going to try."
"Relaxation technique." Myrtle laughed. "That's a lovely phrase for it."
"Thank you," Elizabeth accepted the compliment with a smile.
"What occurs to me," Myrtle said, "is that sauce for the gander ought to be sauce for the goose, too."
