And that means cleaning up cat hair and getting rid of the litter box. Libby, you get to be an outdoors cat.

On the chance that Arthur/er shows up (the same chance as being struck by lightning) why bother to clean up? "Estelle, my love, what's this table with four chairs just off the kitchen for? You EAT there?"
So Arthur is arriving tomorrow? THAT is going to be quite the intro. Unless of course Arther is playing this whole thing full on. Perhaps both he AND his partner Ivan Inghem will arrive tomorrow and take up residence in a Charterstone condo. And Ivan will be the one who then goes over and introduces himself to Estelle as "Hi, I'm Arther". Then Arther and Arther can work this gig for all it's worth.
So, Arther’s totally hired Mr South African Male Model to impersonate him, right? They’re planning to take Estelle for all she’s worth (not Worth), aren’t they? And the plot will be foiled when Arther falls in love with Estelle and rats out Male Model, isn’t it? That’s what’s going to happen, right?
Arther won't arrive tomorrow, will wait a day and then tell Estelle he needs more $$ for some lame thing. Won't matter what, Estelle is too dumb to figure out she is being scammed. This will continue until Estelle has wired Arter 100 grand and is crying on Mary's shoulder blaming overseas bureaucracy for why Arther hasn't yet arrived to be with Estelle. Mary will be alarmed and with her muffins, will make Estelle see the truth. Can we please see how Dawn is doing in Italy? At this point, she should have been there what, 2 years already?
Estelle, you’re scattering dust with that miniature feather duster. Get a Swiffer, for Pete’s sake.
Wanders, I’m also puzzled by that photo. If it IS Estelle and the late Jimmy, was she a child bride, or was Jimmy extremely tall? The top of her head doesn’t even graze his chin, plus she looks about 11.
It already looks like Estelle is less "comfortable" than she reported to Arthu/er. It appears she has fired her housekeeper and is having to do her own dusting.
I’m not actually a housekeeping expert, but I usually find that Windex works better on mirrors than a feather duster. Not that it matters, because if the actual Arthu(e)r does show up, tidiness is not something that’s a high priority with him.
@ Fauxprof, I was about to say the exact same thing. Cleanliness is not one of Arther/Arthur's traits.
Maybe he's going to explain that his twin (the South African male model) was killed in Malaysia and he's here to console her. It's just like the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Danny Devito movie, only depressing.
Either that or Arther/Arthur is going to come gun in hand and make her hand over all of her pin numbers and credit cards. It will be up to Libby to save the day by jumping out the window and running to Mary. "What's that Libby? Estelle's stuck in the well?"
Oh, Arther, how the Worthiverse has waited for the day you arrive! If only you don’t have a deadly allergy to cats, and when the doctor is sent for, it’s Dr. Jeff, who has a deadly allergy to cats... Then we’ll have some fun!

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Guess Who's Been In A Terrible And Costly Accident?".
Meet first time!
Presentable!

Maybe my Italian-English girlfriend can look for her there.
Estelle reminds me of Mrs Wiggins from the Carol Burnett Show.
Who'd imagine the Internet as a gateway to heart-breaking, soul-crushing betrayal?
Will Arther do the smart thing now, disappear, and quit while he's ahead? Or will he get greedy and try to milk the con for another paycheck?
Since he doesn't appear to be someone who's done a lot of smart things in his life, let's get on with the mutual destruction.

Anonymous: I think, if we can believe June's illustration of the event, that Dawn was home for Christmas dinner.
