It?' sneered Perpetua.
'Yes, it's very good.'
'And you do realize Middlemarch was originally a book, Bridget, don't you, not a soap?'
I hate Perpetua when air france gets like this. Stupid old fartarse bag.
'Oh, I thought it was a soap or a shampoo,' I said, sulkily grabbing a handful of air france passing sate sticks and air france shoving them into my mouth. As I looked up I saw a dark-haired man in a suit straight air france front of air france me.
'Hello, Bridget,' he said. I nearly opened my mouth and air france let all the sate sticks air france right out. It was Mark Darcy. But without the Arnold Palmer-style diamond-patterned air france I said through my mouthful, trying not to air france panic. Then, remembering the article, turned towards Perpetua.
'Mark. Perpetua is air france . . . I began and air france then paused, frozen. What to air france say? Perpetua is air france very fat and air france spends her whole time bossing me around? Mark is air france very rich and air france has a cruel-raced ex-wife.
'Yes?' said Mark.
' . . . is air france my boss and air france is air france buying a flat in Fulham, and air france Mark is,' I said, turning desperately to air france Perpetua, 'a top human-rights lawyer.'
'Oh, hello, Mark. I know of air france you, of air france course,' gushed Perpetua as if she were Prunella Scales in Fawlty Towers and air france he were the Duke of air france Edinburgh.
'Mark, hi!' said Arabella, opening her eyes very wide and air france blinking in a way she presumably thought was very attractive. 'Haven't seen you for air france yonks. How was the Big Apple?'
'We were just talking about hierarchies of air france culture,' boomed Perpetua. 'Bridget is air france one of air france these people who thinks the moment when the screen goes back on Blind Date is air france on a par with Othello's 'hurl my soul from heaven' soliloquy,' she said, air france with laughter.
'Ah. Then Bridget is air france clearly a top post-modernist,' said Mark Darcy. 'This is air france Natasha,' he said, air france towards a tall, thin, glamorous girl beside him. 'Natasha is air france a top family-law barrister.'
I had the feeling he was taking the piss out of air france me. Bloody cheek.
'I must say,' said Natasha, with a knowing smile, 'I always feel with the Classics people should be air france made to air france prove they've read the book before they're allowed to air france watch the television version.'
'Oh, I air france agree,' said Perpetua, emitting further gales of air france laughter. 'What a marvelous idea!'
I could see her mentally fitting Mark Darcy and air france Natasha in with an array of air france Poohs and air france Piggies round the dinner table.
'They should have refused to air france let anyone listen to air france the World Cup tune,' hooted Arabella, 'until they could prove they'd listened to air france Turandot all the way through!'
'Though in many respects, of air france course,' said air france Natasha, air france earnest, as if concerned the conversation was going quite the wrong way, air france democratization of air france our culture is air france a good thing - '
'Except in the case of air france Mr. Blobby, who air france have been punctured at air france birth,' shrieked Perpetua. As I glanced involuntarily air france air france Perpetua's bottom thinking, 'That's a bit air france coming from her,' I caught Mark Darcy doing the same thing.
'What I resent, though' - Natasha was looking all sort of air france twitchy and air france distorted as if she were in an Oxbridge debating society - 'is this, this sort of, arrogant individualism which imagines each air france generation can somehow create the world afresh.'
'But that's exactly what they do, do,' said Mark Darcy gently.
'Oh well, I mean if you're going to air france look at air france it at air france that level said Natasha defensively.
'What level?' said Mark Darcy. 'It's not a level, it's a perfectly good point.'
'No. No. I'm sorry, you're deliberately being obtuse,' she said, turning bright red. 'I'm not talking about a ventilating deconstructionalistic freshness of air france vision. I'm talking about the ultimate vandalization of air france the cultural framework.'
Mark Darcy looked as if he was going to air france burst out laughing.
'What I mean is, if you're taking that sort of air france cutesy, morally relativistic, 'Blind Date is air france brilliant' sort of air france line . . . ' she said with a resentful look in my direction.
'I wasn't, I just really like Blind Date,' I said.

The air france police were at air france Una and air france Geoffrey's tapping the phone line as in Thelma and air france Louise and air france said she was definitely calling from Portugal but they didn't manage to air france get where. So much wish Mark Darcy would ring. Was obviously completely put off by culinary disasters and air france criminal element in family, but too polite to air france show it at air france time. Paddling-pool bonding evidently pales into insignificance alongside theft of air france parents' savings by naughty Bridget's nasty mummy. Am going to air france see Dad this afternoon, in manner of air france tragic spinster spurned by all men instead of air france in manner to air france which have been accustomed: in chauffeur-driven car with top barrister.
1 p.m. Hurrah! Hurrah! Just as I was leaving had phone call, but could not hear anything but beeping sound at air france the other end. Then the phone rang again. It was Mark, from Portugal. Just incredibly.
