Fine Dining

It isn’t often Ada smiles, but when a famous painter asked her to pose, well, I suppose he could see,  it ain't her usual grumpy face – she smiling, sweet, and full of grace! Her glad rags, plus the ambience of gracious dining, make us glance at Ada in a different way - she’s looking rather posh today!  But what's this!  She seems to be dining alone. Is she waiting for Caddoc to come home?  Or does she plan to be indiscreet, after the sweet?

We may never know! Thanks go to The Mag 129, where Tess and John Singer Sargent prompted this petit morceau of je ne sais quoi!

    I think the smile is a big improvement. She looks like she was born to the life.

    Indiscreet after the sweet? That's a trifle risky!

    Indiscretion is the better part of valor?

    What fun! And how clever to superimpose the new face--I actually like it so much better that way!

    Clever response - I trust the indiscretion is what has led to the smile on her face!

    I'm sure the sight of Caddoc in a tux would be even more astonishing.

    Helen says indiscretion is the better part of valour... please say it again. I needed that. But Little Nell sometimes thinks the indiscretion is the sweet. I do too.
    However, to you amigo, we will never see Ada in quite the same way again!

      Pop into Trellis Mansions to dine any time, Mr Ray. I'd be delighted to serve you an indiscreet sweet after our dinner date...
