Scope and content
Asks who is the "lovely lady" whose portrait Beaton has given to her for a New Years' present. Feels she could never have looked like that! She has never been worth looking at. If she had looked like that "I would have had 100 men in love with me - I might even have conquered the world!" Can only say that she remains his "devoted and loving" Margot.
