Dora Says Why Do We Have To Dress In Western Hats
Dear Readers,
Why do we characters have to dress in western hats and boots? Why do we have to wear leggings and look like something out of a Hollywood movie? We are supposed to be characters in a World War I drama --- the Great War, you know. We were born at the end of the nineteenth century. I was born in 1894. Edward was born in 1892. But we never went out west on a wagon train or a stagecoach. We didn't have six-shooters or rifles.
We ought to be dressed in 1915 costumes. For me that would be a long dress down to my ankles of a rather sophisticated sort, the kind I would have worn on the Lusitania --- not something a saloon girl would wear with a low bodice and flashing, vulgar colors! Edward would not be dressed like an Earp. He would be dressed like a British military officer. In the Great War he was a lieutenant, not a sheriff in Tombstone, Arizona!
Try to reason with the crazy author who makes these things so. I can't seem to reach her. She just ignores me, and I'm her main character.
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
P.S. You won't find me dressing like a saloon girl in volume one of my memoirs, King Abdullah's Tomb.
