This morning, a manservant appeared at my condo concierge and whisked me away to the Stillwater Spa for a weekend getaway. Oh, how I do adore the Stillwater. It is so sophisticated and civilized, it posts an etiquette list on its website. That is my kind of spa.

Woah.  Did Lucinda McRuvy hear about those sweatshop rumours?  Her “Sophisticated City” column was practically all about me!
At least she offered advice on how to deal with rumours. But I don’t have any money to visit a spa! What am I going to do?
