"I always remember the impression of her coming down the stairs with this terrific floral extension of herself: this enormous hat of feathers. The woman costermoger in her costume became a sort of flower symbol... The proliferation of her hat and costume had a kind of sensuality. I mean, I soon became aware that this was not the woman in a costume but a costume worn by a person; who wasn't a person really, but had become like a marvellous bouquet of flowers..."
