"There is nothing unusual in my being chosen to copy a picture," she said. "Art connoisseurs care little for politics.
I think this doctoring game of hers is simply a scream, the poor old dear." To hear Rosalind discussing Neville.... Messalina coarsely patronising a wood-nymph ... the cat striking her claws into a singing bird.... And poor and old!
