Distinguished Amateurs - the Musical Duchess Behold Her Grace Rehearsing For an Afternoon Concert At Mrs Ponsonby De Tomkyns's, Before an Appreciative Audience, Which Consists of the Host and Hostess, and a Few Professionals Who Have Been Retained to Play Her Grace's Obligato Accompaniments. Her Grace Always Sings Her Own Words, Set to Her Own Music. Her Compositions Are Endless; and When Once She Begins, She Doesn't Like to Leave Off In a Hurry. the Worst of It Is, Her Grace's Music Invariably Driven All the Other Duchesses Away - only Mrs P De T Is Not yet Aware of This.
