Heathers Ascending - Part 8

*Occasionally, I find illustrations or photos that catch my eye enough to write a story around them. I saw these on Tumblr. I don’t know the artist, but these images appeared in a 1930s McCall’s Fashion book. They inspired me to chart three ladies’ very bizarre day

"Well, this party has been a drag." Archduchess Fanty said, sitting on what she believed to be The Whispering Man's ex.

After the Heathers changed the direction they were facing, any thoughts of gerrymandering party districts fell by the wayside; such thoughts had taken so much energy that they had The Dapper Fellow tackle a waiter for his tray. 

"Say now, did we all decide to dye our hair?" Archduchess Fanty asked, placing a hand gently to her own coiffure; she'd hoped the cricket she letting a small apartment to was comfortable.

After a detailed explanation by The Whispering Man about his second marriage to an Elephant Ear Palm Leaf, which was quite difficult to understand due to his instance on whispering everything he said, the Heathers were finally ready to  make their way to the party for which they had come. With great haste, they changed en route and took their usual place by the large maple tree, the one with the rope swing. The Whispering Man followed them because he no longer had on his hat and people wouldn’t take him seriously anymore.

Fortunately for everyone the car ride back to the city was not as long as they had anticipated because Archduchess Fanty was truly a terrible driver. As The Superior Nunny and Cowboy became acquainted. Lady Jane finished the needlepoint depicting the Battle of the Bulge she had been working on since Arbor Day. She was so tickled by the end result she held it up for everyone to see. Archduchess Fanty, in particular, was most impressed and she showered Lady Jane for her efforts. It would have been a better situation if Archduchess Fanty had not taken the term shower quite so literally; that nice old lady would still have her hose and faucet and they would have been able to keep a straight course on the I-95. Oh well,they thought collectively, water under the bridge; which was really very clever given the recent events with the showering and the fact that right now they were, in fact, under the 39 1/2th Street Bridge.

Archduchess Fanty was terribly upset not to have brought the yellow suit to hike across the plateau but thought herself quite clever to repurpose the white gloves from earlier in the day with the green suit.

"Ha, how do you like that, I’m a  proper hippie, what with my recycling and what not." she thought to herself.
