satisfaction of organizing a gar
age sale.

luxury of the silky touch of
polyester.
the poor girl is to be pitied.
All that attention and all those
servants — one dusting, one
making beds, one combing hair,
one pressing the chosen dress
for the day — would be a trial
and a tribulation in life.
Wait. Who am I kidding? I'd
love all that attention. I'd love all
those servants (especially the
one with the hairbrush.) I would
have loved to have been in that
beautiful silk designer dress in
London instead of in my dreary
maroon robe dozing on my dre
ary couch at 4 a.m. I'd love to be
giving up the atrocious list of
things Princess Diana is giving
up.
But then, there's always
Andrew.
