Synopsis

A sale?

Why not?

Release all your wonderful treasures onto the open market and they are there for everyone to enjoy.

It's a kind of emancipation, a setting them free to range the world... a sale room here, an exhibition there; art, Lady Stacpoole, is a rover.

People spoil things; there are so many of them and the last thing one wants is them traipsing through one's house.

But with the park a jungle and a bath on the billiard table, what is one to do?

Dorothy wonders if an attic sale could be a solution.
