Dodo was so much interested in what she had herself been saying, that having just lit one cigarette, she lit another at it, and now contemplated the two with a dazed expression. She was talking to Edith Arbuthnot, who had just returned from a musical tour in Germany, where she had conducted a dozen concerts consisting entirely of her own music with flaring success. She had been urged by her agent to give half a dozen more, the glory of which, he guaranteed, would completely eclipse that of the first series, but instead she had come back to England. She did not quite know why she had done so: her husband Bertie had sent the most cordial message to say that he and their daughter Madge were getting on quite excellently without her-indeed that seemed rather unduly stressed-but ... here she was. The statement of this, to be enlarged on no doubt later, had violently switched the talk on to a discussion on free will. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

With Dodo as a Marchioness social butterfly air head Benson has her go through a questioning and fumbling and success in social responsibility. Much of the book has Dodo in long dialogues with characters-as-types that posit life-as-lived and its meaning and responsibility and a moral position and social behaviour. I haven’t determined if the positions are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in the morally goodness scheme or ‘right’ or ‘left’ in the politically moral spectrum, but the positions a honestly explored. ( )
