FWIW.  Of course, Lydia Keynes did other things besides dance with the Ballet Russes.

Dear Mark, 

What a stupid mistake on my part! I apologise profoundly.

Must have had a senior moment, as I know perfectly well who the book was dedicated to.

Best wishes,

Dorothea

  Dear Ms. Shefer-Vanson,

  The fact that you designate Virginia Woolf's dedication for her novel 
  'Orlando' to Lady Ottoline Morell would seem to indicate a certain amount of 
  haste in the writing of your piece.  Look at the dedication again. 
  'Orlando' was dedicated to Vita Sackville-West, not to Lady Ottoline Morell. 
  It was Vita Sackville-West that Woolf had a romantic relationship with. 
  'Orlando' is somewhat of a mock biography of Sackville-West.  Also, John 
  Maynard Keynes was married to Lydia Lopokova who was a dancer with the 
  Ballet Russes.


  Respectfully,

  Mark Scott
