At the Proust Ball:

"The Duchess was perhaps getting slightly ga-ga. She had an enormous feather in her hair which got into everything, the soup, the gravy, the ice-cream, and at every vivacious turn of her head, it smacked Guy ( de Rothschild ) sharply in the eyes or the mounth and at one time threatened to get stuck in Guy's false moustache which was glued on."
by Elizabeth Taylor
