The Campus Trilogy (2011)
“CHAPTER NINE Can I Take You Dancing?
Victoria thought we needed a break and had arranged for us to go to the Cotswolds over the weekend to visit the Mandril-Fortescues in their new house. We set off early on Saturday and arrived after lunch. James was trimming the hedges when we drew up. Their Georgian double-fronted cottage was located just outside Upper Buttercup. There was a large magnolia tree in bloom in the front. James showed us to our room overlooking the garden. Like their Chelsea ...house, the cottage was full of exquisite furniture and old Oriental carpets. Their golden labrador, Maximillan, bounded about and demanded attention.
After we unpacked, we had tea and delicious fruitcake in their pretty drawing room. Vanessa enthused about life in the country and told Victoria about several of their school friends who lived nearby. As our wives gossiped, James explained that he was keeping going doing some part-time consultancy. He had set up an office in their garden house which was connected to the internet.MoreLess
