Among the best of these were De Valois' animated chess game, Checkmate, her Rake's Progress (after Hogarth's famous drawing sequence) and Ashton's gay Wedding Bouquet and impish Façade (to music by William Walton).

Elizabeth's womanly beauty usually makes strangers forget that she is, after all, only a youngster, but her behavior quickly reminds them of it.
