The Princess and the Pauper

When the Princess walked through the door, the camera followed her all the way through to the elevator. Not aware of this intrusion, she called David on her cell and asked for instructions on a speech she would give that night at the conference for third world hunger awareness, a subject she abhorred and despised. Contrary to speculations in the media about her contributions on the subject matter, David reminded her that perceptions abounded about her deceptive behavior. She went on to tell David how much she hated having to be there and to speak to a bunch of peasants and low lives, she had seen through them and known that all they cared for was how much money they’d be making out of her being there that night and how little the poor bastards back home would benefit from all this. Security at the Ritz was formidable and not only had they gotten her video taped but the sound system here was top notch. All of her conversation with David was picked up by the security system and Russell Snitzer at the command center walked out of his shift with copies of the taped incident already bided on by various media institutions for a hefty $300.000 US dollars. That same night Russell sealed the deal over a sumptuous escargot and champagne dinner at the famous Le Rouge Monique seated right across from the Princess herself.
