The Crown Rests 2
“Well you may or may not know that Eric Brentwood was my pupil master and as you do know he’s currently in hospital and I just want to discuss some points of law. Would that be ok?”
In a cheery voice hiding her disappointment, “Of course, look I have to pass by Chambers why don’t I pick you up say at 6:30?
“Yeah, that will be great”
“I’ll be in a cab so be ready”
“Do you want to come?” Tina cut herself short as she realized that Bette had hung up and she was talking to dead air. “How bloody rude!” thought Tina.
Bette sat back in her father’s oversized leather chair, her chin resting on her steepled fingers, “What the ***** happened there? God! Did I hang up on her before she finished speaking?”
Bette looked at the clock the time was 5:40 pm, forty minutes until she saw Tina. Whilst she could easily just while away the time just day dreaming about Tina, she busied herself dictating letters for her secretary and preparing a brief for the following Tuesday. Before she knew it Hillary her father’s secretary was buzzing her to tell her the cab had arrived. She picked up her things and headed out towards her destiny.
“Hills can you tell Sir Melvin I popped in to see him and that I’ll definitely see him at the weekend as I’m going down to Oakwood?”
“Yes I’ll be sure to pass the message onto your father; did you know your mother Lady Marjorie will be home this weekend?
“Mumsie’s home? Great!” said Bette gleefully. “Do you I haven’t seen her in almost 6 months?”
“Well, it will be lovely for both of you I’m sure.” Said Hillary thinking how much at that moment Bette reminded her of the 10 year old Bette that used to get so excited about her mother’s visits.
When the cab pulled up outside Rivercourt Tina was there waiting, Bette stepped out and waved, Tina looked up and gave Bette a smile to die for, Bette gulped and almost fell back into the cab. Tina tripped gaily down the steps and entered the cab.
“Very punctual I see.” said Bette
“I believe it’s important to regard everyone else’s time as valuable as my own.” Tina responded without any hint of sarcasm.

absolutely delightful! love the ‘English’ english:)
lovin it!!!!!!!!especially being a northern girl myself!!!!!
God..can’t wait for you to take us to the English Countryside.
Very nice, I am looking forward to see how the weekend in Essex goes, daddy will definitely not like that Bette has brought someone home for the weekend. I am looking forward to your next post.
absolutely beautiful, love the language and the story…can’t wait for more
I am absolutely amazed at the level of creativity of you folks here on fanfiction. I love this story—Tina and Bette as barristers ;-) Hope they have some bouts in court—other ones, I mean. I, too, cannot wait for the trip to Essex.
So Bette’s an “Essex girl”?!! It’s so good to have another home country story – very enjoyable and looking forward to your updates.
I like this, looking forward to reading more.Thank you.
Thank you for your author’s note! I have to admit though, that I had to ask my wonderful guide, what exactly the “Bullring” is. Would have enjoyed seeing the marketplace in action!I will be going to the convention, and after that will be spending about a month visiting…and although I know Tracey (tbsaver) is going to show me as much of your beautiful and historic country as she can, I will be exploring on my own some of the time while she is at work. Really enjoying the story…the different use of the language…”Mumsie’s!!” Looking forward to the next chapter!! Thanks!!
Well Seahurst told me that I needed to read this story and I am so glad she did. I love to see B and T in different environments, and lets face it you don’t see them in England that often!!!!….Fantastic start, I love it!
LOOOOOOOOve it, Keep it coming and soon.
I have a feeling Melvin won’t like Tina even though T & B aren’t a couple yet.
Let’s hope in this story, Melvin is completely smitten by one Ms. Tina Kennard. I would be nice to have one story where there are no obsticles for them to hurdle. Nice story… Kudo’s to our sister on the other side of the Atlantic.
