With a pleasant smile, Ellen Lambert swept her arm toward the interior of the house."Please come in, and have a seat in the parlor, doctor."
"Thank you."Suzan followed the woman into another museum-worthy room.This one contained a mix of furniture styles, modern to French provincial, the color scheme both bright and muted.In any other room, the décor might have clashed, but in here, the variety added a cosmopolitan and aesthetic touch.Before she sat down, Suzan admired the range of artwork displayed on marble stands, particularly the alabaster bust of an Egyptian woman wearing a headdress inlaid with turquoise and gold bands.
"You have a lovely and admirable collection here," she commented.
"Thank you.I've acquired the pieces over the years through my travels, and some have been handed down to me by friends and family."
