Don't answer if you've already picked up on a clue in previous posts or know where I've been. Educated guesses welcome (probably a fatal thing to ask on a blog if answers come there none). A very, very famous figure, not exactly to the tweed manner born, and with very long legs - I was asked to put the trousers against mine to compare, and even with a high waist these seemed to go on for ever. Pictorial answer will follow anon.
PS - I'm not doing this for clickbait. I just think the photo reveal will be fun.
A very suitable suit for an afternoon, for an art exhibition for example. Not suitable for the evening
ReplyDeleteThat would be correct, especially for afternoon strolls. So aren't you going to hazard a guess, or as a close reader of this blog do you think you know already?
ReplyDeleteIt's not Bernstein is it? You did say not to the manner born.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively - Dame Ethel Smyth?
Good guesses - and Lenny did start wearing tweed for his Harvard Lectures in the 1970s... But no.
ReplyDeleteTWO sticks .............. old age and a bit wobbly. Ansermet ?
ReplyDeletePS And tall............
ReplyDeleteAlso good guess, if slightly cheaty in the light of recent posts, but from what I've seen of him EA seemed to favour windcheatery sorts of jackets and jumpers, in rehearsals at least.
ReplyDeleteYes, and tall. Sort of in the right vicinity, but to say more would be to give too much away before tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteRachmaninov? But is that cheating bec I knew you were on L Lucerne ?
ReplyDeleteIf long legs go with big hands, I would venture to suggest Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninov!
ReplyDeleteUltra long legs and tweed, clearly very dapper and well tailored- first thought is definitely Rachmaninov too!
ReplyDeleteCorrect, you three - the visual response is now up above this post.
