Annie,
I enjoyed your observation concerning Lady Kitty's frequent use of the Collinwood telephone(s).
However, you may not know that when Judith Collins-Trask returned home to Collinwood from the hospital, one of the first things she did (being the control freak that she is/was), was to review the phone bills for any exorbitant calls.
Let me tell you, was Judith in for a a shock, when she reviewed the calls that her beloved husband, Gregory, had apparently made from the private phone in his study while she was away. The phone calls to those (900) area code "lovelines" were bad enough, but the reverend's frequent calls to Miss Olga's Hot Oil Swedish Massage Spa in Bangor, ME, were just too much for the mistress of Collinwood to put up with!
Suffice it to say, Mrs. Gregory Collins-Trask had the telephone man install locks on all of the phones in the great house of Collinwood the very next day!
Bob the Bartender, who hopes that Judith lets Quentin have the caller ID function (with attached answering machine) on his phone, just in case his inamorata, Amanda Harris, ever does call from the Big Apple.
