The Governess- 21

Wendy and Annette had just finished helping the new visitor unpack when Veronica
walked in. “Well done Trishia I see you’ve actually managed to put all your
stuff away. I don’t know why you bother carting all that luggage around for such
a short stay.” Patricia smiled at Veronica. She was used to having her leg
pulled about the amount of clothes she had. Patricia was in the same year as
Veronica and Diane at their boarding school. Diane had arranged for Patricia to
stay for a few days before they all went back to school for their last term.
Patricia was very tall and slim, in fact the tallest girl in the school. Her
aristocratic good looks and bearing were coupled with an excellent sense of
humour which made her one of the most popular girls at Charnwood. Veronica,
Diane and Patricia had been firm friends for years and had come through the
rigours of their formative time at boarding school with a sense of fun and
irreverence which was the envy and of many of the younger girls at school.
Patricia was wearing a beautiful French negligee which just managed to cover her
hips. Her long legs were fashionably slim. Her tiny waist and small firm breasts
were clearly visible though the diaphanous white silk of her negligee. “You know
I’m a sucker for clothes and I know you’d be disappointed if I didn’t have at
least a dozen new outfits to show you and anyway you know I wear them
beautifully.” Patricia laughed at her friend. Her rich chuckle echoing around
the lavish guest bedroom as she put her arm around Veronica’s shoulders.
Patricia’s long blonde hair cascaded over her bare shoulders as she hugged her
friend. “Come on then let’s go down I want to see this new young plaything of
yours. Wendy heard the remark and instantly thought of Richard and the certain
embarrassment he would be put through at the hands of the three girls. “Will you
need anything else Miss?” Wendy asked primly standing in front of the new girl.
Patricia looked at her. “No Thankyou Wendy, you and Annette have done a most
professional job and Thankyou for the extra hangers you obviously knew I would
need them.” Patricia looked at the young maid, although only a cursory glance
Wendy was aware that her eyes had taken in every contour of her body. “I think
Wendy remembers the amount of gear I brought when I stayed last year.” Patricia
laughed again. “I will have a glass of wine when we go down stairs, you know how
I love the contents of your cellars.” “Yes Miss, I’ll bring one to the living
room, Lady Rawlings has already opened a bottle for you.” Patricia threw her
head back and laughed. Her beautiful face was wreathed in merriment as she bent
forward and took Wendy’s face between her long delicate fingers, holding her
head she kissed her full on the lips. “There’s no need to blush you pretty
little girl, I just love coming here. Off you go and get my wine while Ronica
and I go down stairs.” Patricia and Veronica were laughing like young school
girls as they descended the stairs towards the living room.
