...believing that my mother's cousin, Annette Wildey, posed for this statue. We were told that no one outside our family knew who the model was. It came as a shock to read the name you gave. It is possible that she used her mother's maiden name (which I've never known) in order to spare the family "disgrace." Annette Wildey is no longer living, but I would like to perpetuate her memory by attaching her real name to the lovely Diana...

...mischievous elf Puck is the thread that weaves in and out of the several plots and groups of characters, and holds the work together. For this, Jerry Dodge is unflaggingly admirable. When he says, "And here the maiden, sleeping sound,/ On the dank and dirty ground," his way of dropping vocal pitch on the second line is hilarious.
