Quote by Honoré de Balzac

“That word "drama" has been somewhat discredited of late; it has been overworked and twisted to strange uses in these days of dolorous literature; but it must do service again here, not because this story is dramatic in the restricted sense of the word, but because some tears may perhaps be shed intra et extra muros before it is over.”

A source, who was at the mid-May fitting and has never discussed what really happened until this book, said that stories about tears have been “puzzling” to those who were present. “Some of the children weren’t cooperating, and there was a lot going on. Everyone tried to help where they could, but it’s never easy with kids at fittings. There were no tears from anyone.”
