...base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. He was buried in St. Paul's, and his monument bears a stone copy of one of his best-known paintings, an image recognizable to thousands of people who probably could not have identified a Turner, a Blake or even a Constable: The Old Shepherd's Chief Mourner, a grief-stricken collie resting its head on its master's coffin...

...famous Malibu neighbors, who came to her for tuna and consolation. She changes their names and calls it a novel.
