Behind Closed Doors

Pour a Cucumber Pimm's Cup
2 c lemondae
1 lrge cucumber sliced
1 c Pimm's No. 1
1 c ginger ale
crushed mint
mix and refrigerate - then settle down to this fascinating story of the last days of the Duchess of Windsor. Whatever you may have thought of her you will feel sorry for how taken advantage she was - kept prisoner - her jewels etc stolen - by her atty and staff. We perhaps will never know everything that went on as she lay in bed shuttered in the house but Vickers does a wonderful job of ferreting out Wallis' sad unhappy and unhealthy ending.
