chapter three - Christmas holly blah de blah de blah

" Yeah. No way. Er, but, Leonore, I'm not being difficult or anything but one thing I do know and that is sometimes when travelling like, doing a strop can work against you. Like, it's the beginning of December, coming up to Christmas yeah?"

"Yeah. Like , deck the halls with Christmas holly blah de blah de blah, de blah de yawn."

"So everyone's on move , yeah? Not just us?"

"I guess."

"Well I know from when Daddy does his own bookings for coming into land in our ickle jet, if you miss your slot, particularly at busy times, you don't get another."

"Up. Um problemo you think? So you're saying what exactly?"

Tigsy laughed at the other end of the phone. "That you'd better get your stonkingly rich butt off that island in Caribean, Leonora Hadley-Dent, and onto the jet or else we'RE not going to be able to do our shopping trip in Paris and get back in time for Christmas."

"Like I care about Christmas. Had bumhug to all that, I say, it's just another excuse for the staff to skive off for the day," I sad but did not get up, slip my feet into my Gucci mules with the kitten heels and make my way through the French windows to my bedroom. Coco followed me. She's soooooooo cute. She walks like she's wearing heels too.

"I know,"said Tigsy. "Three weeks to go and it will all be one big bore as usual. The fun part will be you being here and shopping beforehand, although three will be presents on the day. Daddy said he might get me a diamond Cartier watch this year. I've put it on the list as I am getting tired of my Rolex. It's so last season. But really, Lee Lee, I mean, I'm going to be OK for getting to Paris. I'm in Geneva and only have to hop on a train to get there."

"It's cool. I get you. I'll get a move on," I said as I took a couple of chocolate bars out of a drawer and flung them into the suitcase on the bed. "I'm packing as we speak but I'm not going to let Henry think that I'm doing it for him."

"No. Course not. But do hurry. I've got no-one to play over here."

"I'll see you soon."

"Excellent. Kissy-Kissy. Daddy's booked us the whole of the top floor at the George the fifth hotel. I've been there before when Imelda Parker Knowles had her sixteen Birthday bash there in the summer. It's utterly dinky. I think you'll like it."

"Soooree. Packing. Be there. Bysie-bye."

"Bysie-bye."
