...cooked and silver tea trays arranged for 70 extra royal relatives-more house guests than had slept there in 42 years. The Queen arose at 7:30 and kneeled briefly to pray. Her tea tray was brought in the same as everyday, except for a small bouquet of fresh flowers and a note: "With every possible good wish today and always. From Mac and Smith"-her personal maids. For the moment, the handmaidens ruled the Queen. Her beauty expert applied make-up specially concocted for its versatility in daylight or Abbey shadows, or under TV klieg lights-"a peach-tinted...

Each colored slab fits its neighbors as snugly as a stone in a wall. A mound of squarish slabs represents a bouquet; rectangular slabs in horizontal layers stand for a seacoast. De Staël's colors are sumptuous, often set off by solid chunks of coal black which supercharge the canvas in much the same way as Rouault's heavy black outlines...
