Katherine Mansfield - The Doll's House

The Doll's House

by Katherine Mansfield 1888-1923 New Zealand

When dear old Mrs. Hay went back to town after staying with the Burnells she sent the children a doll's house. It was so big that the carter and Pat carried it into the courtyard, and there it stayed, propped up on two wooden boxes beside the feed-room door. No harm could come of it; it was summer. And perhaps the smell of paint would have gone off by the time it had to be taken in. For, really, the smell of paint coming from that doll's house ("Sweet of old Mrs. Hay, of course; most sweet and generous!") -- but the smell of paint was quite enough to make any one seriously ill, in Aunt Beryl's opinion. Even before the sacking was taken off. And when it was . . .

Nell Gwyn

It was the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 that finally 

allowed

 women on the English stage. Before then men or boys 

played female roles. Gwyn was one of the first female actors

 and quickly became very well known. "Not only was she a 

good actress she was incredibly astute at manipulating her 

image and abilities," said Perry. Deft networking and a long 

affair with the king – she had two children by Charles – 

helped Gwyn become one of the first celebrities.

"She became extraordinarily popular. She had a very bold 

character, she was witty and outspoken and she had a 

charisma."

Gywn's fame was helped by mass reproduction of her image

and the admiration of people such as Samuel Pepys.
