The barman asked her, "Still or sparkling Madam?" He had an ice bucket with a bottle of chilled white wine leaning in it, but she said that she didn't drink and asked for water. Did he really mean it? Did he know that if she wasn't actually a schoolgirl, she probably should still be one? Nobody had ever said anything like that to her. Oh no! He's even more famous, though I can't place his name he's so old that Dad would know it.” "Oooh," thought Gladys, "She's famous, I'd better not look. She walked through the club, trying not to stumble on her high heels, looking for Darren, and hoping that she did not seem to be celebrity spotting. "He's waiting at the bar for you," she said.

She was quieter than usual as they took the bus home. The prospect of a posh dinner with somebody who is world-famous for being dishy is actually more nerve wracking than performing in front of a huge crowd. Gladys had discovered something surprising. Suddenly she looked something she had never seemed before: sophisticated. She overruled her friend and went with the shop assistant's advice.
