Dame Sybil stars in some of her favourite plays The Distaff Side by John van Druten adapted by RAYMOND RAIKES with Lydia Sherwood , Jane Wenham Crizelda Hervey and Mary O'Farrell
When you have tidied all things for the night.
And while your thoughts are fading to their sleep,
You'll pause a moment in the late firelight,

In sympathetic silence all the day. With that old kindness of domestic wood:
Nevertheless the haunted room will say—
Someone must be away ...
