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
