Good morning dear Friends
This Sunday which saw Miss Periwinkle and Monsieur Firmin enjoying a well deserved day off, inspired me a little story
...
Regent St Productions presents
Making Headlines or one Star may well hide Another...It all started very quietly on this Sunday morning with the arrival of the little Paperboy who prepared his stand offering the newspapers of the day, ranging from the Times to Society Magazines such as The Delineator.
Sunday morning is the traditional day in London when one can enjoy the news while having a delicious homemade cooked breakfast and this morning the headline of the Society column is of some importance :
"Eleonora Dusa has arrived at the Mansion where she will be in residence as she is preparing herself for her next play "The Three Musketeers" ! "
Such news always delights everyone interested about the gossips attached to the persona of the rich and famous and our little Paperboy is guaranteed to sell all his newspapers in a record time this morning as the talk of the town will come alive...
And it did come alive in the shape of General Fitzwilliams and his Lady who saw the headlines and could not resist spreading the gossip throughout Regent St and beyond.
And soon, from Regent St to Mayfair, and from the Maid to the Palace, everyone was talking about one thing only : Eleonora Dusa had arrived at the Mansion !
And the Lady herself, not one to shy away from the Press, chose that very morning to go shopping in the fashionable shops of London accompanied by her Maid Lily and the Porter Jayson.
We are catching up with her as she is returning back to the Mansion in her usual grand style, and as she is greeted at the main gates by a crowd of Admirers and their flowers !
This alone would be enough to make further news tomorrow when another very special Guest arrives at the Mansion at the same time...
Sarah Bernhardt ( created by Lazoutte from Tricornejock.com )The Divine as she is also known has just returned on the latest Cunard Steamer from her triumphant Tour of the American Theatres where she delighted the crowds with her unique acting and outstanding beauty. One says that she even performed at the White House for a private dinner.
She is accompanied by her Maid Nelly who is holding a parasol to protect the Divine from the Sun, the only star in Sarah's own words to cast a shadow over her own radiance
.
Although Eleonora Dusa and Sarah Bernhardt are archrivals, they have agreed to pause for one photo only at the gates of the Mansion to the great delight of our little Paperboy who will once again sell his newspapers in a record time on Monday morning
