Chapter Thirty-Five
Felicity joined Judith in her rooms. It was six in the evening; the best time for play, Judith said. Both of them were dressed up, in expensive lingerie, Judith in black silk, Felicity in white satin. They wore tight, short skirts which barely hid their stocking tops, and heels so high Felicity had had to practice walking that afternoon so as not to fall over. Their hair was coiffed, their make-up impeccable. They conversed of this and that, mainly on the subject of Mrs Lockhart and her progress, which Judith said was generally satisfactory. Her girls were well organised and doing good business.
She was due at any moment, though not expecting to find Felicity there. At six-thirty she arrived. Judith brought her into the sitting room and told her to take off her coat.
