Sorry Jim, I should have put some sort of smiley symbol after that statement!

I believe Diane that both Ms.Lee and Ms.Broadwood attended the same school of patronising, probably in London, well certainly somewhere in the toffy south anyway. Clearly Ms.Lee attended the advanced classes, utilising low techniques such as the 'give the ignorant labourers whisky' ploy - certainly it is not recorded that Lucy Broadwood ever employed it - maybe she bribed her singers with low-quality pianos?

Lucy Broadwood a slapper? Well I'll be...dammit, you learn something new every day. I must ask Irene Shettle if she can enlarge on this fascinating aspect of Lucy's character.
