Part 24 - Rebecca 21:55 Saturday evening
“It’s now or never, Harry,” Rebecca barked into her
phone. “How high would you be prepared
to go?”
Rebecca waited.
“Well three thousand three hundred is the record bid so far.
That was last year. Would you go that
high?”
Another pause.
“Really? Four
thousand! Are you serious?”
Rebecca was shocked.
“OK, Harry. What if
it went above four thousand?” she queried.
“Can I just check that?
You’d give me discretion up to five thousand.”
Rebecca waited for confirmation.
“That’s fine. If
you’re sure. I can go up to five
thousand. I repeat five thousand but no
higher. Well it’s unlikely ever to get
to that. As I said, three thousand
three hundred is the record. She may go
for a lot less. Can you let me have
your debit card details, please?”
Is it Lady Jane of whom they speak.?? I cannot see her auctioning off her nephew. It is not like she needs the money, does she?
ReplyDeleteWell that would be telling. It's all so confusing. But do you really think Aunt Jane would ever willingly auction her precious nephew?
DeleteOf course not, but unwillingly? There must be terrible things in the works for her by those she slighted.
