Instead, he went off to the local wine shop, where he met his old friend Coriddi. Full of sympathy, Coriddi presented Blacksmith Cianfone with a bouquet of mauve cyclamens. Cianfone was touched. They had a drink...
...first time in 13 years, tiny, greying Choreographer Ninette de Valois, 51, danced before an audience (as the parlormaid in A Wedding Bouquet), to celebrate the 21st birthday of the Sadler's Wells Ballet which she founded.

The pictures were full of familiar Ashton trademarks-the wit of Wedding Bouquet, the subtle fancy of Facade, the gay, gregarious pageantry and a little of the slapstick of Cinderella. And there were salty passages indeed; Rimbaud's (Nicholas Magallanes) painfully sexual grapple with Profane Love (Melissa Hayden) was both lurid and profane...
