Flying Off to The Countess

The preparations and duties are complete and the Page and Consort will be flying off to Chicora Court to partake of final joys in the presence of the Countess as the weekend ends, flying into the land where flight began, where the Page began, where the Countess began, and where now the Countess is informing her Court of ultimate plateaux and final experiences. "No, I'm not afraid, I'm not scared," she tells us all, and the Page has every reason to believer her. Sad, perhaps worried, about having to take leave of those so dear to her at Court: her Lady-in-Waiting with family, her Page and his Consort, all her Chicks, all her siblings and in-laws and nieces and nephews, all those she has always given to. But she should, I'm sure she does, know that they have all received more than could be wished. When the Countess leaves them all, she should have the SMILE of having done it well on her lips.
