...chairs and tables in every room. Posters and photographs from old Pudding shows blanket the walls. Many of the posters show a large investment of time and talent. Some are done in beautiful pastels and others in oil. Those from the early twentieth century display a marked Toulouse Lautrec influence...

The decrepit old black blues singer and guitarist faces the back of the stage, thumps his foot, forgets all his music and caroms into the pit. Perhaps the funniest skit is one featuring Toulouse-Lautrec, who slithers around with shoes on his knees and tries desperately to heft a huge canvas onto an easel beyond his reach...

Carita's colleague Alexandre got into the Concierge-Goulue act with a high-piled version winding up with a "brioche" for such style-setting clients as Princess Grace of Monaco and Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes...
