Zora Bernier

The costume room is where gossip comes in and gets pressed smooth on the way out, everyone knows it and walks in anyway. What I heard today, I won't carry off, but I'll remember the thread color.

• Madame PonceIf I took that mouth of yours as rent, it'd come with interest.
  Zora BernierMa'am, that's a compliment, right? I'll take it as one.
• Giselle RocheYou pressed my story smooth and sent it out yesterday too, didn't you?
  Zora BernierYours is still just soaking in water.

Mending the lead dancer's stockings, same spot, third time now. I told her to buy new ones twice, then gave up.

• Marianne GodetI'm the one who washes those. Scrub them and they tear, so I always just rinse them by hand.
  Zora BernierThat hand of yours is the most valuable tool on this hill, Marianne.
• OdetteWho did you post that for?
  Zora BernierI posted it because it's mended where no one can see.
