Betty's leaving word for Francis, and when she's done, she calls the kids in for lunch. After mere seconds, though, the man himself calls back, and the momentary gleam in Betty's eye when she hears him identify himself is rather telling. She heads for the study, telling Bobby to hang up the phone, but she doesn't specify when so of course when he picks up the extension in the study, she hears a dial tone. Hee. Betty's not nearly as easily amused as I am, but she barely has time to chew Bobby out before Francis calls back. This time, she picks it up in the study to avoid mishap, and after light (but still somewhat charged) talk about the fact that Betty had a little boy and that Francis has at least one of the same, Betty makes her pitch on behalf of the Junior League of Tarrytown, mentioning that the Governor grew up there, and Francis knows the area well, having grown up nearby himself. He says he's heading upstate the next day, and he could probably stop by and take a look at the proposed site. Betty hesitates for a moment, as the next day is Saturday, and it will be harder to keep the visit from her husband. Well, she doesn't say that, but given that she doesn't really say anything, that's the implication. However, she tells him she'll make it work, and they agree to meet at "Swensen's Bakery" for a cup of coffee at three. Funny that Don's study, the place from which he's historically arranged all the business he wanted to keep from Betty, is witness to such a scene. Not funny ha-ha, but funny.
