1. • 2016, Elizabeth Jane Howard, Marking Time:

     I told Polly this, and she said it sounded like a possible idea. Then I told the Duchy after we'd played the ninth symphony – the one with voices – and she said she thought I might be right but I wasn't sure if she really believed me, but when I'd put the records away she said, 'Come here, my treasure,' and gave me a terrific hug and I said, 'Don't you believe me?' and she said, I believe that you believe it and I can't tell you how much I admire you for it.' I must say that was rather pridening.
