Jayne had watched the film set Crew work their magic with old reclaimed furniture, reviving it to film star status.
A boudoir chair made by LOR-BER MANUFACTURE INC. located at 1975 rue Falardeau Street in Montreal, Quebec was picked up at an antique market and given a new lease on life with a black and white dotted fabric.
Jayne sat down on the chair, novel in hand, and read Chapter 44.
"The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada filled the dance floor. Snippets of conversation were filmed to bring about the mood of love driven youth looking for a moment of meaning before they would embark for the United Kingdom on December 22, 1939.
It would be said, in later years, that the Regiment's baptism of fire came three and a half years later, on July 10, 1943."
Jayne sat very still on this seat, just off to the side in the Crystal Ballroom, a hot fire burning in her belly as she experienced the metaphysical equivalent of what that Regiment experienced on the shores of Sicily.
