Show RAGE TWO Tim Ihe U. S READING & WRITING X our stan to Margery Sharp for her creation of one of the unique and lovable heroines of the year Miss Cluny Brown, wh Club jppears in her novel, "Cluny Brown, a selection for September. Cluny Brown is the niece of a 1 ondon plumber, and people are always saying of her, "She doesnt know her place, and saying to her, "Vr'ho do you think you are, Cluny Brown? What does she do thats so outrageous? Well, for one thing she gixs to the Ritz for tea. Imagine, a plumbers niece going to the Ritz. It just isnt done. But Cluny and went, all saved up on her own, just to see what it was like. What Cluny needs is taming down, her Uncle Am decides, and he arranges for her to go into service as a parlormaid at Friari Carmel in Devon. That ought to settle her, he thinks. But it doesnt. She has never lived in the country before, and it is a source of endless delights to her. One day, after she has played truant for two hours, simply to look at lambs, Mrs. Maile, the housekeeper, decides s time to give her a dressing down She does this exceptionally well; generations of maids had been reduced to tears in an average of five minutes, and to penitence in ten. Grimly, she allots Cluny fifteen. "Who do you think you are? she begins, which is a mistake, because that remark immediately sets Cluny off to think of all the train of events that had brought her there. When she has finished, she asks the girl, "Well, what have you to say for yourself? "I do wish Uncle Arn were here, sighs Cluny. "Why do you say that? the housekeeper asks, more gently now. "I would like him to see the lambs, comments Cluny. After that, Mrs. Made gives up. Parlormaids really are very hard to find these days. Margery Sharp, author of "Cluny Brown, "The Nutmeg Tree, and other novels, is English, though she was married in New York to Geoffrey Castle, now a captain in the British Army. The best man at the wedding was the actor, Robert Morley, who was playing currently in "Oscar Wilde, and also in the screen vetsion of "Henry VIII. One of the guests, arriving late, saw Morley standing on the church steps. He reminded her of some historical figure, but in thd flurry of the moment she couldnt decide just which one. "Who is that man? she whispered to the first person she could reach. "Why, dont you know? was the reply. "Thats Oscar Wilde. According to the story, the guest left hastily, presumably to puzzle out things in quiet.
