The enquiry in question concerns the identity of a pretty young woman found drowned in the river like the lovelorn Ophelia. Indeed, Vanessa suspects she may have been an actress, but that raises questions of its own. Not so long ago, "actress" was synonymous with, well, a woman with a past. But today it's said that Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the toast of the London stage, is received in some of the best houses. Have notions of respectability truly changed that much? Or are the newfound female freedoms merely a thin veneer, masking societal expectations that have, in truth, become no less restrictive?
