Scope and content
Is in London next week for a Gottfried session and shall 'fly on wings' to the V&A. Heard that Queen Mary's favourite Paige made off with some of her toques at the time of her death. He is called George Armstrong. When she was dying, she told George to make sure that the Duke of Gloucester only stayed for five minutes. He did this by telling him there was a whisky and soda waiting for him downstairs. Thinks George should be interviewed on the television. Visited him at Wimbledon but saw no toques.
