She escorted Janet into the living room to be greeted by Robin's wife, Anne. She was a complete contrast in beauty; blonde, petite and dressed in a simple silk cocktail gown.

"I'm afraid Robin won't be here tonight. He's very upset about his secret being discovered and has instead sent along a very close friend," said Anne.

Janet was about to protest that she was here to talk to Robin when into the room stepped another lovely girl.

"Ah, there you are, Robyna. Your guest has arrived. Do I need to introduce you, Janet? I think you two have already met."

Janet was suddenly aware that this was Robin before her but almost totally unrecognizable when dressed completely as a woman. A long blonde wig, styled naturally, framed an exquisitely made-up face with the blue eyes accentuated by mascaraed lashes and a dark red lipstick pro- ducing a generous mouth. He wore a Victorian style full length cocktail gown in plaid taffeta with the high neckline and cuffs trimmed in white lace, and he looked terrific.

“Well, Jan, which one do you prefer. Robin or Robyna?"

"I liked you as Robin but if given a choice, I think I would choose you as you are. You look really lovely."

"Well, that's terrific,” said Bobbie. “We were not sure how you would take the change but decided to find out for better or worse."

The maid, which Janet was surprised to see but was assured had been with them for years and knew all about Robin called to say the dinner was ready and they went in to eat.

The dinner was terrific and the wines had obviously been chosen with care. Fortifid by them and a number of liqueurs they withdrew to the liv- ing room to continue their talk. Bobbie was still commenting that Janet was so understanding about Robin that she decided to tell them of her impersonation.
