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.
