DRIVING WITH LADY CHATTERLEY By Linda Stewart Henley

We were faced with a dilemma: we could ignore the lady, who I dubbed Lady Chatterley, or I could start reading the maps again. We decided to give her a chance, though I resisted obeying the electronic voice whose presence invaded our vacation. She was opinionated. I hated her arrogance. I felt inadequate, that my diction needed attention. The voice would come on without warning, without any regard for us or a conversation that she might be interrupting. To make things worse, Vince started to like her and didn’t seem to mind being guided by her frosty, but polite, instructions. I found myself becoming jealous and told Vince she wasn’t really as smart as she sounded.
