BEg2 brief summary of chapter 25

[Michael Bailey]

Maxine meets up with Cornelia (Mrs Slagiatt) for some shopping at
Loehmann’s.

Gets bored soon after they separate (to meet up at 1pm near the registers)

Goes to shooting range Sensibility (mentioned in ch 18, pg 199 of Nook
edition)

Pretends she’s shooting Windust

Meets Randy (from the wine cellar in ch17) on her way out and sits down for
chitchat

Lunch with Cordelia at a deli, a bit of Cordelian  life/love story

Cordelia mentions her husband Rocky (Slagiatt) is worried because Maxine
(to his eye) shows signs of distress, but that he’s reluctant to interfere.

Maxine decided to confide a little - the existence but only in vaguest
terms the nature of the rooftop video.

Cordelia recommends Maxine take it to some dude named Chandler Platt, (not
Bing unfortunately,) the name of whom she recognizes with a modicum of
distaste.

But she goes to Platt’s law office & shows him the video.

Then he leaves her with an intern who regales her with some original rap.

Having made a call, he comes back & tells her whatever is about to happen
is going to be permitted to happen. Asks her to leave via the rear entrance.

For distraction she heads to Saks, but meets up with  Emma Levin, Ziggy’s
Krav Maga teacher, and then with her beau Naftali the ex-Mossad guy.

She drops a hint about wanting to get out of town, in case he’s in the
know, but he refers to most rumors being unfounded - and flirts with her
until Emma reins him in.
