At Longleat, in this very room:
A little girl pleadingly to her mother, Mummy why don't we have things like these?
The mother scornfully to her daughter, Because this is not our taste.
Cow.

oh good one.
I think that little girl will grow up to be either a decorator, a design historian, or plot her life to marry money to have a house like this. I suppose none of those careers are mutually exclusive.
that's funnee.
funny. as always.
how very funny and as if ............
Home before dark:I think that little girl will grow up to be either a decorator, a design historian, or plot her life to marry money to have a house like this. I suppose none of those careers are mutually exclusive.
Or have her mother "sectioned"...
I hope my comments were not misunderstood. What I meant my words to express that this seemingly not a huge moment in time, may actually be the defining moment of this young girl's life where she sees the world in eyes not her mothers and understands in ways her mother cannot. This is a young girl for whom beauty's sirens are calling in ways that will be her life's passion.
hbd - exactly. And curse her mother for not realising it and encouraging it.
That little girl will look scornfully down on her mother for the rest of her life!
home before dark - I was just being frivolous!
Wouldn't you just love to see what exactly her taste is?
Fantastic! I'm sure my mother said similar things to me as a child, and I'll lay bets that HBD is right on the money!
I witnessed something similar at Newport, RI. Cringe-inducing.
The conjectures on the future of the child are vastly more interesting than Longleat.
Yes... that's the reason....
I think it is a intresting and great home and so beautiful also.
