A Thousand Kisses. Here Sugar Plum first meets Earl Dorian-Red-Gloria, accompanied by several of his men. Has works of Michelangelo, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Raphael, Van Dyke and so many more! One of the works is Venus and Cupid, an art allergory by Bronzino (Bronzini), a 16th-century Italian painter. According to Sugar Plum this work is "so erotic" and "so beautiful" - "The soft, golden tresses falling down his forehead. That naughty look in his eyes. It's all so dreamy. You can really lose yourself." Dorian describes it as "Brilliant. The only scene in which a kiss is perfectly captured in all its splendor. It's almost pornographic." He likes the painting and says that Cupid resembles him. Sugar Plum says that she also thought it resembles Dorian, that they share "the same sexy--", but she breaks off when she realises what she has started to say. Present is also James. Closes for the Christmas holidays. Leopard Solid waits for Sugar Plum when she comes outside and then Professor Caesar Gabriel walks past too.
