Revelations Chapter 1

…. of course, you do know it was me who made her what she is today. If it wasn’t for all that publicity I drummed up nobody would ever have heard of her. Personal appearances in places as far afield as Camden, Lambeth and she even popped up briefly at Paddington Station – what a furore that caused; people scrambling over each other to touch the hem of her garment.
But then doctors started taking an interest in her - she had this weird band of hangers-on. You know one even thought he was an alien being, ha ha can you imagine it – he used to dress in uniform, like in that film …what’s it called now? Oh yes, Blue Max.
Said he came from Planet Goerring or some such place, nobody’s ever heard of it of course, obviously a figment of a demented imagination. But they were all like that, you only had to say one word ___ and they turned ugly (not that they weren’t ugly already) but suggest that perhaps there was the hint of scandal and they fell on you, like a ton of bricks, to hear some of them you would think that she could walk upon water.
It is sad really, she had such talent and she wasted it. She got really carried away by all the adulation, forgot about her career and started a mad round of crazy parties until finally she got carried away by the men in white coats.
Of course I should never have loaned her the car ………
