"Put it on, put it on!" Ms. Blanc urged when I hesitated.

"Isn't the veil going to make it difficult for me to see?" I asked.

"Of course not, you silly goose. Didn't I tell you I'd thought of everything? Now put it on! Every second you dawdle is another second she has to wait," she said.

"You mean she's here?" I asked, feeling the blood leave my face. I hadn't heard a doorbell or a knock of any kind indicating she'd arrived. She must mean something else.

"Of course she's here," Ms. Blanc said, looking a little disappointed at my lack of smarts. "She's been here for about five minutes. Don't look so panicked, Angel. I always make my guests wait at least five minutes. It lets them know who is really in charge of these meetings. Now, put on your hat like a good girl."

I did as she bid, finding that my fears of being unable to see were unfounded. In fact, it was as if I hadn't put on a veil because I could see very clearly the world around me. "There are tiny cameras embedded within the veil which allow the wearer to see unhindered. Now, while I talk with this woman, you are to stand at my side and do whatever I bid. Do not speak or hesitate in any order I give. Remember, she will believe you are my companion and ignore you...unless you do something to draw attention to yourself. Understand?" she asked.

"Yes ma'am," I replied, not really having any options at this point.

"Good." Ms. Blanc sat at her desk and pressed a button. "Come stand right behind me."

I did as she bade me, noting that the dress, which I'd thought couldn't get any more revealing, did in fact have hip high side slits on both sides. The only saving grace was that one of the slits ended a couple inches lower than the other, which prevented a breeze from flipping up the skirt and revealing everything to the Ancients. As it was, I'd still have to be careful or else I'd be flashing people with every step I took.

 " Put it on, put it on! " Ms. Blanc cheer when I hesitate. 

 " Isn't the veil going to make it unmanageable for me to see? " I asked. 

 " Of course not, you cockamamie goose. Didn't I tell you I'd think of everything? Now put it on! Every second you dawdle is another second gear she has to wait, " she suppose. 

 " You mean she's here? " I asked, feeling the blood leave my face. I hadn't hear a doorbell or a knock of any kind indicating she'd arrived. She must mean something else. 

 " Of naturally she's here, " Ms. Blanc said, looking a small disappointed at my lack of smart. " She's been here for about five minute. Don't look so panicked, Angel. I constantly make my guests wait at least five minutes. It lets them know who is really in charge of these meetings. Now, put on your hat like a good girl. " 

 I did as she bid, finding that my fears of being ineffective to attend were unfounded. In fact, it was as if I hadn't arrange on a humeral veil because I could see very clearly the world around me. " There constitute tiny cameras embedded within the veil which give up the wearer to see unhindered. Now, while I talk with this womanhood, you are to stand at my side and do whatever I bid. Do not address or hesitate in any order I afford. Remember, she will believe you are my companion and ignore you... unless you do something to draw care to yourself. Understand? " she asked. 

 " Yes ma'am, " I replied, not really having any options at this point. 

 " Good. " Ms. Blanc sit at her desk and pressed a button. " Come stand right behind me. " 

 I did as she offer me, noting that the attire, which I'd thought couldn't induce any more revealing, did in fact have hip high side slits on both side. The only saving grace was that one of the slits ended a couple inches lower than the other, which prevent a breeze from flipping up the dame and revealing everything to the Ancients. As it was, I'd still give birth to be careful or else I'd be flashing people with every step I took.
