The Diamond of Drury Lane
“. . A BALLOON RIDE It occurs to me now, Reader, that you may be wondering who I am and just what I am doing living in a theatre.
My full name is Catherine Royal, known to almost everyone but the vicar and Mr Salter as Cat. I am four foot four, have long red hair and green eyes, and not a penny that I can call my own. But I am not asking for your pity: I think I am more fortunate than those heiresses of many thousands a year that you read about in sentimental novels for I live in the most exciti...ng place in the whole wide world: the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London. Forget everything you’ve heard about our rival house, Covent Garden, for Drury Lane undoubtedly has the best actors, backstage hands, musicians and dancers. And I should know for there is nothing that happens in our theatre that I am not aware of . . . well, almost nothing, as my tale will show.
Why do I live in a theatre? you ask. Why am I not at home with my mama and papa? Well, you see, I seem to have lost my parents, or rather, they lost me.MoreLess
