Maya dressed up this evening and came to me to present herself. Her elaborate dress reminded me of Infanta Margarita in Velásquez’s Las Meninas. “You look like some Spanish nitwit,” belted out Dorian as soon as he entered the room. Both of them are quite close to the Spanish community in the West End through a couple of their minders. Dorian was right, too. There is continuity to culture. Much continuity.
