s　said；　giving　her　a　wet　kiss　on　the　ear。

Yuck。

“Oh！”　Eleanor　Waldorf　squealed；　patting　her　blown…out　blond　bob。

Blair’s　mother　was　wearing　the　fitted；　graphite…beaded　cashmere

dress　that　Blair　had　helped　her　pick　out　from　Armani；　and　little

black　velvet　mules。　A　year　ago　she　wouldn’t　have　fit　into　the　dress；

but　she　had　lost　twenty　pounds　since　she　met　Cyrus。　She　looked

fantastic。　Everyone　thought　so。

“She　does　look　thinner；”　Blair　heard　Mrs。　Bass　whisper　to　Mrs。

be。”　She　snatched　a　cod…and…caper　spring　roll　off　Esther’s　platter；

popped　it　into　her　mouth；　and　chewed　it　vigorously；　refusing　to　say

anything　more。　She　couldn’t　bear　for　Eleanor　Waldorf　to　overhear

them。　Gossip　and　idle　chat　were　amusing；　but　not　at　the　expense　of

an　old　friend’s　feelings。

Bullshit！　Blair　would　have　said　if　she　could　have　heard　Mrs。

gossips。　And
