The people are so real that there will be endless discussion of who is actually who: Sculptor St. George is Sculptor Saint-Gaudens, and so on. If the fabrication of fictitious letters and other personalia are remarkable, the character relations are even more so, especially the courteous, humorous, almost tender friendship between the divorced senior Lords. There is no "diddle-diddle-dumpling" about My Son John. After the prevailing diet of pink...
