One doesn't expect Mrs. Frederic, Leena knows. She comes and goes on her own terms, cool and unflappable. So if every Thursday at precisely three in the afternoon Mrs. Frederic arrives at the B&B in her signature pink, and seats herself at the kitchen table before asking, "Shall we have tea?", well. Leena sets fresh flowers in the center of the table (roses in the summer and orchids in the winter) and bakes the cookies ahead of time (plain oatmeal), but she always waits to set the teacups until she hears the car in the driveway, just in case.
