Somerset even has its own Mr. Allora who is responsible for throwing out the gawkers who come to gaze upon the contentment of the residents and the many other amenities.

Dingdong can't see well enough to spot two ton pink vehicles in the parking lot, but she can see the fine print on a shuttle schedule?
ReplyDeletePerhaps the friendly voice is that of Broadway legend Ken Kensington! Mary will go nuts!
Maybe it's the Somerset security guard. The ladies just waltzed into this private, upscale residential community as if they were entering the Food Team.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a handsome and quite frisky senior gentleman and widower with whom Hanna will become instantly smitten. Thus begins the new, romantic chapter in the life of the former Hanna Dingdon. (With any luck, in short order she'll be able to dump that idiotic name and take the name of her new love: Bill Bellring.) And of course, Mary will take credit for it all.
ReplyDeleteHmm, that bulletin board looks like the activities board at Pax Wellness Institute.
ReplyDeleteI think the out-of-panel questioner is the late Mr. Dear Old Shelly Cohen (did he have a first name?), who is not late at all but on the lam in Santa Royale. Dear Old Shelly served on too many lox-and-bagel lunches, so he faked his death and moved west. He's hunkered down at Somerset and has been trawling for new ladies.
Why are there filing cabinets in the hallway? Perhaps the "ladies" are now snooping about in the administrator's office. Yeah, this all makes sense now. 0,-
ReplyDeleteThe questioner has assumed that Mary and Hanna have rented a Somerset apartment TOGETHER in a Boston marriage/civil union. Now Mary will have to confront her own homophobia in a fit of spluttering.
ReplyDeleteShelly Cohen was a chick (as it were).
ReplyDeleteAre they surprised by a voice, or surprised that it's "friendly"?
ReplyDelete(If it's Mindy from sales and marketing, she is highly trained in the art of fake-friendly.)
Ooooh, I Am Not a Robot, I like it. If they marry she will be Hanna Dingdong Bellring.
ReplyDeleteUh-oh. It's Charlie the Closer, the official Somerset gigolo greeter whose duty is to charm the ladies into signing on the dotted line. He'll drop Hanna like a hot latke when she's signed the contract.
ReplyDeleteHis next comment: Do you come here often? What's your sign? Can I get you something to drink?

ReplyDelete"Sean Hastings" - again with the WASPs!
Happy Halloween to Wanders and all the MW & Me hearties!
There's something about a man in a tan sweater vest and a short-sleeved shirt- ROWWWLLLLFF. Hanna looks positively perky.
ReplyDeleteThe smile on Hanna's face makes me wonder if Charlie just goosed her.
ReplyDeleteOoh...a widower! Hanna is going to have to gussy herself up some if she wants to beat the competition.
ReplyDeleteWe have a special guest star. Appearing in the role of Sean Hastings is Mr. Joe Giella himself
ReplyDeleteNaaa, Uncle Joe would never wear short sleeves with a sweater vest.
