...Franco in Spain. The Countess for once did not go along. The Countess' father, Il Duce, was summering in central Italy at Rocca delle Caminate, still keeping the vow of silence he publicly took at Cuneo, in northern Italy, last May. Edda herself was at the island of Capri, across from the Bay of Naples, supervising the building of a villa at her (and the late Emperor Tiberius') favorite recreation spot...

Sensibly, good-humored-ly she commented: "The customers are satisfied, aren't they? Besides, I'm not vulgar. When I'm trying not to be vulgar, everybody tells me off. I don't care what they say about me. People who see me like me. That's all that matters. I just go on in my own sweet way. My act has changed...
