[MaC] Joining the Fun (Pamela, Philip)

[Jonathan Katalenic]

"Oh - is the lift working again now?" she asked.  "Who
was stuck?"

"Not me," drawled a voice from the door.

It was Nola Diamond, the movie actress, radiant in
dark green velvet.

"Nicola," she said, in a tone devoid of expression. 
"Darling."  She advanced into the room, her hands held
out towards the American, drawing her 
close o kiss the air either side of her face. "How
lovely to see you."

"Nola, darling, you had everybody worried. We were
about to send out a search party," Nicola said in her
normal tone of voice. As Nola passed to kiss the air
on her left cheek, Nicola whispered fiercely, "You are
not yourself and I don't know what is going on, but I
am going to find out, Nola. You can't hide things from
me forever."

"God, I need a drink," Nola said without reacting to
Nicola's threat.

She moved towards Braham, Marjorie, Oswald and Warren
where they stood by the drinks table.  Marty Fitzroy -
and everyone else present in the room - she ignored totally.
