A performance or a march?

Elsie “was so beautiful….Chinese. Ageless. Paris thrown in. Perfect French. Poise….”

For Elsie, “life was a performance.

“For Betty, it was a tremendous march. A brave and glorious and, well, comical, sometimes endurance. All governed by love.”

A performance or a march? Which best describes your life?

Elsie and Betty are two of the characters in Jane Gardam’s Old Filth trilogy.
