The Painted Lady (2001)
“Some of it was even between the pages of the leather-bound volumes. The rest reposed in the gentlemen strewn about the room in comfortable armchairs, reading today’s newspapers, napping behind yesterday’s newspapers, or conducting affairs of state and commerce that would fill tomorrow’s newspapers.
