The author of THE LONG AFTERNOON turns his attention to serious folly and with cunning sleight of hand shows he has a talent to amuse and provoke in equal measure. Auberon, the brilliant but troubled Director of the Museum of British History is preparing one Midsummer's Day for the opening of the most spectacular exhibition the Museum has ever staged: ELEGANCE. The centrepiece of the exhibition is Gainsborough's portrait of the beautiful and intriguing Lady St John - not shown in London for a hundred years, the painting shows its subject strikingly attired as Puck. As the day passes the portrait arouses in the minds of the museum staff disquieting questions, rivalries and strangely deep affections. Tension mounts: will the gala dinner be a success? Can the museum's Chairman be kept under control? And just what is it that's so peculiar about the portrait?
