do and I wish you
success in both your career and private life.
It is with the deepest regret that I can’t be with you, but please
don’t forget how much I love you and always will.

    Felicity re-read the letter several times before she placed it back
into the envelope, she wouldn’t let herself be ruled by more
grieving, there was a time and a place and this wasn’t either of
them.
At breakfast the next morning Felicity joined the Madame, they
both exchanged their morning pleasantries.
    “Madame may I take this opportunity to thank you
for confiding
in me regarding my mother, it is now my wish to follow into her
career.”
    “Nonsense
, Felicity my dear, your mother would never approve
of this and I daresay she would be turning in her grave if she
could hear you now.”
    “It’s
not nonsense Madame, if this career was good enough for
my mother than it shall be more than good enough for me.
Besides my minds made up and I all ask is that you can teach me
all I need to know?”
“You could choose anything you’d like as a career. I was
hoping after finishing school that you could enroll in to
university, you have endless choices you can do whatever your
young heart desires, travel around the world, or engage in
charity work.”
    The Madame was secretly pleased with her choice, but hid it
well, she had to be sure this is what Felicity really wanted to do
before she could embark on passing and teaching everything she
had once learned.
“My heart desires this Madame, if you can’t be my mentor than
I shall have to look for someone else, either way I’ll pursue it!”
    “Listen why don’t you go on vacation for several weeks, give it
some more thought and if you decide upon your return that’s
what you really want than I shall accept your decision and will
become your mentor. How’s this sound?”
    “Really Madame
, that’s fabulous. I thought I could visit Monika
my friend from finishing school as she’s having an engagement
party over in New York next week, I’d hate to miss it!”
    “Very well as long as you accept Monsieur Fredrik to
accompany you and be at your disposal as and when you
require?”
    “Oh Madame
, no, please, he’s such an old bore. Why does he
have to come along, he will only cramp my style?”
“Yes, Felicity its conditional so don’t forget it. I couldn’t bear
the thought of you in a completely different country alone; it
would not rest well on my dear old conscience.”
    Felicity reluctantly agreed.

    New York was fascinating, Felicity fell in love with the different
kinds of old and new skyscrapers, The Woolworths Building
was her favorite, the oldest by far with its neo gothic style it
reminded her of the old European gothic cathedrals she had seen
in many of her mother’s books. How she longed to travel and
see them all one day.
    Monika lived with her parents in Scarsdale in a large newly built
Tuscan inspired villa designed by a European architect, new to
the states; the architects name went completely over Felicity’s
head; however she was informed that he would be attending the
engagement party, much to her delight.
“Welcome my dearest friend; I’m so glad you could make it!”
    “I wouldn’t miss your wonderful engagement party for the
world; although the Madame insisted before my departure that
the awfully dull Monsieur Fredrik accompany me I’m afraid.
I’ve booked in to The Hiltons Times Square on 42 nd street, so
I’m not too far away.”
    They air kissed one another and Monika took her by the hand to
give her a guided tour of the house.
Felicity couldn’t help but notice the abundance of French doors
with splendid views to nature providing views of the lush
landscaping and beautiful perennial gardens. Mediterranean
influence was everywhere you turned in this building from the
detailed exterior light fixtures and wrought iron gate, to the patio
and presentation center staircase with wrought iron balustrades
and
