Is courtesy to a tradesman-portraitist, mid-service so to speak, in that category? Possibly so, if like little Louis Auchincloss, one leads a life with his nose pressed to the windowpane, always looking in. Then a concession of glamour may result in a sad kind of consolation. For all we know, this bearer of this notorious name was a pretty nice woman. But if that is charming to us because of her things, is this why it's nobility?Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-54126753061347670852011-04-11T17:05:21.335-04:002011-04-11T17:05:21.335-04:00What a great beauty with a keen sense for style an...What a great beauty with a keen sense for style and the arts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572400688345132982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-88015331840738701192011-04-11T12:16:32.874-04:002011-04-11T12:16:32.874-04:00Too bad the Bourbon dynasty was the end of French ...Too bad the Bourbon dynasty was the end of French royalty.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
