Description
As perceptive as Joyce Grenfell, as waspish as Hinge and Brackett, Vera and Irene's correspondence is as coruscating as ever...Dear Irene, Can't bear for you to fly half way round the world in violent outrage. It would give you flatulence and nothing is worse on a cramped plane. I've enclosed a photo of us which is one of my favourites. It was taken in Capri by a gentleman who invited me to the casino...'Dear Vera, I remember the gigolo incident very well. You claimed you had 'forgotten' to take your spectacles out with you, so did not see the hourly rates written on the back on what you cared to think of as the gentleman in question's calling card...
Reviews / Votes
