UN CUMPLEAÑOS MUY FELIZ - A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
In the meantime, the organization of Claire's surprise birthday party continued. Aída and Lorraine, Mrs Smith's sisters, came frequently from Gibraltar to Algeciras with the excuse of accompanying their nephews from school, but the real reason was rehearsals at the Reina Cristina hotel with Monsieur Carré, the French journalist, Madame Du Gast and Mrs Smith herself, who was also encouraged to perform a piece. The rehearsals were epic, a duel of divas, to the delight of some other ambassador who incessantly entered and left the hotel or strolled through its gardens. Mrs Smith always managed to get away from Claire by telling her a thousand and one stories. When dress rehearsal came on February 6, Mrs Smith left home early.
