What Do the Three Women at the Belinda Blinked Tombola Look Like?
Sir James Godwin's charity tombola auctions the services of three "very fine ladies." Jamie, James, and Alice immediately undercut the phrase. One woman is covered in mud, one is bald, and one has lipstick smeared around her face. Belinda Blumenthal is the muddy one. She thinks the auction might be fun, then realizes she has no idea what she is agreeing to. She shouts that she is game while trying to cover herself with her hands and arms. The other two agree as well. The tall host bows, someone bangs a gong, and the bidding is about to start. The twelve-hour term and the safe word come next.
