Lucy would insist on parading around in her new swing coat, and every time she turned Sheila was left frantically fielding falling glassware. Should she tell Lucy about the magic of simple button-on half-belts? Maybe later, for, great heavens!, Lucy and her dangerous back fullness were sailing ominously towards the Royal Doulton. If only she could get them both out of there before Lucy went anywhere near the Waterford Crystal...
