Lessons in the laws of community, the transience of power and how to get invited to lunch. Beatrice, undisputed queen bee.

Georgie is desperate for a cigarette. Rachel is watching them all, keeping her distance. But soon to discover that the line between amused observer and miserable outcast is a thin one.
