7/33 Oh, my dear sir, I know all about pageants! I saw one at Warwick Castle--was it last year or the year before? There was a woman on horseback--I forget what historical character she represented: it wasn't Queen Elisabeth, I know, and it couldn't have been Lady Godiva because--well, because to begin with, she knew how to dress. She wore a black velvet habit, with seed-pearls, which sounds like Queen Henrietta Maria. |
