The Princess is taking drama after school [no better woman] and is to star in a modern version of Beauty and the Beast* where Beauty is a spoilt older sister.
She reported that she was told the news thus by her drama teacher [of whom she is very fond]: “You are the spoilt, bossy Beauty, you [pointing to small winsome child] are the lovely little sister and I am a casting genius.”
* Her father tells me that the play is called “Beauty is a Beast”.
