Chapter 10 Summary: “Field and Oar”

Phoebe takes Leslee, Andrea, and Delilah to lunch at the Field and Oar Club where she is a member and on the membership committee as well. She has been endorsing Delilah and Jeffrey’s membership for years, but for some reason the couple is always passed over. Phoebe knows that Delilah will be furious if the Richardsons leapfrogged them somehow.

Over lunch, Leslee talks about all the places she and Bull have travelled, bonding with Phoebe over extravagant vacations. She reveals that Bull is from Australia but evades questions about her background. To Delilah’s displeasure, Leslee enthusiastically accepts Phoebe’s invitation to be their fourth at pickleball. Leslee also casually reveals that Phoebe nominated the Richardsons for club membership, in exchange for which Leslee is happy to help get Phoebe’s son into the prestigious boarding school he is interested in attending.

An upset Delilah excuses herself to the washroom, where she runs into Sharon. Delilah confides in Sharon about feeling threatened by Leslee, who was waltzed into Nantucket out of nowhere and is stealing away Delilah’s friends and other things that Delilah has long wanted, like a Field and Oar membership.
