Splendid. What a great word. And what a beautiful, old hotel here in the seaside, cinema-centered town of Cannes. One of a handful of “great ladies” that house the celebrities (and businessmen) who come to wheel and deal at the film festival each year. So elegant. So French. How nice it would be to have one of those balconied rooms looking out over the Mediterranean.
Splendid indeed! Perhaps Mr. Blake is not saying "fromage" in those smiling photos, but rather "splong-deed," you know, "splendid" the French way. I think we should be told.
