back Leola, Grandma next


We all trekked out to Le Vesinet, of course, so that Esmé and Chester Kiesling could meet the rest of the family, and vice versa. Esmé brought out the precious mantilla that Queen Mother Maria Cristina of Spain had given her in 1920, after a command performance of her flamenco specialty. Later, Esmé gave it to Valerie, the last time we saw the Kieslings. Rebecca has it, now.
We took the cover photo of this collection on this occasion.
