Jacqueline smiled, nibbling at the end of the fine pen she used on fragrant stationary. It was a bad habit of hers, her red lips pulled into an almost enchanting glow. But she did love to play, play in her own way, as the girls in her coterie succumbed to her most pleasant mischief. Some resisted to further enjoy her misadventures, some played a game whether or not they found it delightful, and others were honestly duped.
"Dear Sophie," the letter began, "I understand you have a birthday the day of graduation. As we are celebrating our last day here, I welcome you to our event so that you may, too, enjoy the day that is yours. Please join us in the gardened backyard of my family's estate. There will be privacy. Your dear friend, Jacqueline." There was some irony in her ending phrase, for Jacqueline was less known as a friend than as a rite of being. For if she smiled good fortune on you, you would enter a transition from girl to woman, from unsettled inexperience to confidence and understanding. In a way, it was much better than the awkward advances of a clueless determined man. Or, boy, as the case may be.
"PS," the letter ended, "Dress daintily beneath your uniform."
