Artists are such sensitive types. I don’t want to shock her with our wanton ways... at least not at breakfast.”
Karen ignored Chauncey's protest. Instead, she observed the commotion around her, and Josephine's smooth manor in handling it. She took a mental note: study her civil and property rights as a citizen of the USA (her expensive Canadian boarding school had not taught about this). She took another: she would have to learn to delegate. With seeming absentminded nonchalance, she picked a strip of bacon up from her plate and, as she might with a begging puppy, dangled it in front of Chauncey's face.
Chauncey, in his current predicament certainly looked the part of an obedient dog that Karen was treating him as. His head moved back and forth as he attempted to assimilate all the comings and goings of the room, and when Josephine stated her orders to Michelle to get dressed, he sincerely thought the young heiress would take a clue and discontinue her little game. He felt completely ridiculous as the ill fitting sport coat bound and pulled with him currently in a crouch next to Karen, but with no shirt underneath, he really couldn't unbutton it.
Just as he was about to stand and once again take a seat at the table properly, he saw her dangle a piece of bacon in front of him in an absent manner. It was then that he realized the young lady intended to make further sport of him, and lest Josephine pay too much attention or a scene ensue, Chauncey unbuttoned the jacket so that it hung more comfortably on him. He started to lift his hand to take the bacon, then, thinking wiser of it, began to nibble it from her hand.
