Part 21     - Andy      20:40 Saturday evening   

“Oooh, Auntie!   That’s just like mine!” Andy exclaimed as another model strutted down the catwalk. 

“Yes, dear.   William Wilde does such nice dresses.   But you look better than her in it.   At least I won’t need to buy that one.”

The fashion show and auction had been going for nearly ten minutes and Aunt Jane had already placed orders for many different items.  She kept pressing the little key pad that she’d been given to take bids.  

“Why do they call it an Auction, Auntie?   No one’s competing for the items.  It’s just a fashion show where you can place orders.”

“I don’t know darling.   Just keep watching.  The prices are good though.   Do you like that?”  A model was walking with very short steps in a tight hobble skirt.

“It looks lovely but for you or for me?”

“For you, naturally,” said Jane.   Jane keyed in another order.  She’d already ordered several dresses, pairs of leggings in both cherry red and black, a bolero jacket, as well as latex stockings and lingerie for her young companion.  She’d even indulged in a latex hood with a detachable ponytail, as well as a three of wide latex collars, one plain with just D-rings and the others studded with the words ‘Sissy’ and “Boy”.   That would avoid any confusion at parties.   She also bought a latex hunting outfit for each of them since the Sisterhood’s quarterly hunt was later in the month.   The riding crop was just for her though in case Andy got any ideas.   For him, she'd ordered a red latex fox catsuit with hood and tail so she could have a little pursuit of her own when they were home. The final item on the catwalk was a shimmering opalescent mermaid dress that she couldn’t resist.   She ordered two: one for her and one for Andy.  She wanted to ensure that they were the stars at the Hunt Ball.

All the models came back on to the stage.   “And that concludes this part of the Auction,” boomed an announcement from the stage.   “Wasn’t that fabulous?   Give them all a big hand. ”   There was tumultuous applause as the models gave a last strut across the stage and then trooped off.   “Just time to place any final orders. Remember you won’t see prices like these in the shops or on-line.  Only The Sisterhood can get such amazing deals.  And now, Colin and Simon will come round sorting out your payments while dessert is served.  Please have your terminals ready.” 

“How much have you ordered, Auntie?” whispered Andy.   Two maids wearing flouncy French maid dresses with layered petticoats had come into the back of the room and were starting to go round the tables.  Each had a hand-held credit card machine. 

“A lot.   But it will be worth it.   Now let me just sort payment.”    Jane passed her terminal to one of the maids. 

“That’ll be two thousand nine hundred and seventy pounds, please Madam,” said a somewhat gruff voice that hardly went with her stylish uniform.    Jane proffered her credit card.   “Sorry, debit card only, Ma’am.”

“But I’m not sure I’ve got the balance on that,” protested Jane.

“That’s the rules, Madam.  Debit only.  We can always knock some items off but you’ll be missing some bargains.”

“I know.  Let me see if it’ll go through.   I may just have the balance in my current account.”   Jane put her credit card back in a little wallet and withdrew her debit card and pushed it into the machine.

“PIN, please.”   Jane punched in four digits.   The transaction seemed to stall for a while.  “Don’t worry, it’s slow tonight,” said the maid.   Then the machine whirred and printed out a little slip.  “Yes, that all seems to be OK.”  The maid handed the receipt to Jane.  “Many of your items will be packed and bagged for when you leave.  The rest will be delivered in the next 3 working days.  I guess you won’t be bidding in the next Auctions.”

“Next auction?” squeaked Andy.   “But I thought that was the Auction.  The L in Gala was for Latex.”

“We’ll see dear,” said Jane.   “Eat your dessert.”   Jane just wanted to get to  the dancing.
