Being a celebrity is not so great a gig, and it’s not as good as being a good musician or having a particular skill. Celebrity always missed the point, and you end up disappointing the people who thought you were what you never said you were.
“Miss Brontë & Miss Emily & Miss Anne used to put away their sewing after prayers, and walk all three one after the other round the table in the parlour till nearly eleven o’clock. Miss Emily walked as long as she could, and when she died Miss Anne & Miss Brontë took it up – and now my heart aches to hear Miss Brontë walking, walking on alone.”
