It was too much to keep to herself. Still clutching both the box and Mr. Ibis' last note, Effie almost ran down the stairs, heading for the hotel lounge. Hoping that someone would be there that she could talk to.

	"Then I am so happy for you," Effie said warmly. "Will ye tell me more of her, since I havena met the lady?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hattie settled back into a corner of the sofa and thought about Delphina. "Well, she's lovely to look at. I know little about race and ancestry, but she looks very exotic to me. Dark hair and dark eyes, and her skin is quite dark too. I've never seen anyone like her! And she was fun, too. Bright and lively and - and shining somehow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She sounds a bonny match for you." Effie smiled, and let go of Hattie's hands, automatically curling around Mr. Ibis' gift. "The fun will suit you, I'm thinking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh yes," Hattie said fervently. "I should hate a dull life! Did I tell you my mother is an actress? I'm definitely not used to things being quiet!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-26 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	"No, ye didna!" Effie laughed. "My stars, that must be a busy life! Is she much on stage?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-26 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, not all the time, since she likes to be at home with me and Josephine - that's my other mother - but she does so love it. She's not terribly famous, but she gets quite good parts. She says the casting agents like her." She grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"D'ye have siblings, too?" Effie asked, curious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-26 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Just one, a sister - Electra. She lives with our father and his husband - or did, until she married last year and moved away. I do miss her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Effie nodded quietly. "Four women in one household must hae been a lively home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-26 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, it was only three of us most of the time," Hattie grinned, "but yes, it was. Though I do love being here at the hotel, in some ways. So many interesting people to spend time with!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-26 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	Effie smiled. "And to make friends with?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-26 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	Hattie smiled back. "Oh yes. Definitely friends!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-26 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	Effie's smile widened and warmed. "I cannae imagine a household of all women. We always had John James to keep us reminded." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Your brother?" Hattie guessed, and laughed. "Part of what I'm enjoying about living here is getting to know some men!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-26 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye, my wee brother," Effie confirmed. "Have ye met many men here, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-26 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	"More than I think I have ever spoken to in my life before!" She paused and considered, head on one side. "Well, that's rather an exaggeration, but you know what I mean." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-26 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye," Effie agreed, and laughed. "Such a rush to match people off! I'm no' complaining, but to have calls so soon after each other, and to be settling and meeting everyone, my head's half spinning from it!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-26 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Hattie patted her hand sympathetically. "I suspect it could get a bit much after a while, yes. But at least now we can both concentrate on one person each, can't we?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-26 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	"For a match, aye, but there's still a town of folk to learn," Effie said with a smile. "Every one of us all moved to a new town to start fresh." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-27 04:13 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, of course," Hattie nodded. "It is so exciting meeting so many different people from all over the world - though I am starting to find it hard to keep track of what they have told me!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-28 11:17 am UTC (link)
	"I have nae met so many as you, it sounds," Effie confessed. "For it's no' so much as to confuse me, as yet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-28 11:24 am UTC (link)
	"I do have a tendency to talk to people," Hattie admitted, with a grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-29 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"And I dinna," Effie said, perfectly content with that and well aware that she'd got to know Hattie simply because of Hattie's tendency to talk to people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_homemaker813 2008-09-29 06:09 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I'm sure there's room for both kinds of people here," Hattie said, patting Effie's hand. "After all, those of us who like to talk do need people to listen to us!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lacemaker 2008-09-29 09:34 am UTC (link)
	Effie laughed quietly. "Aye, well, I can always listen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
