The Hallway. From the outside an ordinary house. A great house, true. 483 rooms, each one with its own marble wash basin and douche. Bide as it's known. But inside ... and the positions are reversed. A human failing, some say a disease, but a disease that Sir Francis Dashwood knew and used well. Upstairs, inside and a revelation, it's a discotheque. No, no, err ... there are paintings ... real ... and look here! A rare 17th century masterpiece. And if I can scrape a little of it off, beneath I can find hidden ... a 14th century underpiece. Made entirely of tiny pieces of eggshell. This lurid work has caused controversy in the world of embroidery and anthropology. No, I'll say it again: anthropoloblogy. No, quite possibly making anthropole. No, I mean an epilog ... it has enthralled distinguished professors and in layman's language, It's blinking well buffling, but to be more obtusely; buggered if I know. Yes, buggered IF I know. And that's all we've been so far. From experts in 14th century painting renaissance greengrocers, and recently revived members of the public. Buggered if I know. Vivian Stanshall, about 3 o'clock in the morning, Oxfordshire 1973. Goodnight! |
