I gather you weren't keen on going back to Scotland with your brother at this time of year. I don't say I blame you. Terribly bleak and cutoff in the winter."" Oh no, Mom, " I said, as her words sunk in. "My brother is not going back to Scotland. He and my sister-in-law are going to the Riviera."The Riviera? I had no idea."" For my sister-in-law's health. She's feeling rather frail at the moment."" I don't think that frail would ever be a word to describe your sister-in-law, " the Queen said, looking up with a half smile on her lips as a tray of coffee was reeled into the room." I managed to have six children without making a fuss. One just got on with it. .Rhys Bowen

Aren't you going a little overboard?" I asked, picturing a day ahead of me trying to find these items in a town I didn't know." Nonsense, darling. What's the point of a party if you don't go overboard." I sat on the sofa watching her, admiring her. Not only was she beautiful, but she had a wonderful way of shaking off life's little problems, like water off a duck's back. Nothing seemed to upset her. .Rhys Bowen
