Dora Says Somebody Painted Edward's Daimler Blue
Dear Readers,
Somebody in Tombstone, Arizona painted Edward's black Daimler blue. We located it sitting outside the Crystal Palace Saloon where Wyatt Earp used to work back in 1881. Whether a gambler stole it or the saloon keeper or an outlaw or Wyatt Earp himself we have no idea. But why they painted it bright blue is even more mysterious. It looked distinguished and sophisticated painted black. It didn't need any garish coloring.
But then everything about Tombstone is garish from the boom town atmosphere to the silver strike mentality. it's the place for quick riches, not for aristocracy and refinement. There was far more of that on the Lusitania. I am about as far away from it here as Edward was when he joined Lawrence of Arabia and rode with Bedouins.
After the Great War everybody started to act different. But these citizens of Tombstone were doing it back in the 1880's.
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
P.S. There were no mentions of the citizens of Tombstone in volume one of my memoirs, King Abdullah's Tomb.
