Vanessa has the advantage of singular control of her environment--she can
simply retire elsewhere with her friends if things get annoying. And she
gets to attend such _salons_ as (I flatter myself too much) never were in
this world.
She has made her own little universe, and made it a refuge for the lost,
the out-of-place, the _interesting_ who make their way there. She does not
suffer fools nor boors--they come to sorry ends.
She says of herself, "I have been around, let us say, a very long time, and
I fear it would have been a weary, dreary while had I been plain. I’m not
saying it’s fair—it simply _is_."
