Untitled … Former executive director of the bar dies … Babette Smith played a leading role in soothing heated temperaments … Huge drama over nude painting removed from the bar common room … Boarding school politics … Furious letters … Name calling … Unsettling events … TV documentary … Theodora reports COMMENT: My comment that the lady in the painting was not masturbating was not based on the fact that "no-one had seen her hand move" (as the article suggests). It was on 2 bases – first (and principally) that her hand was well short of her pubic area and secondly that it was on top of her panties so that, if it had reached her pubic area, it would have been frottage not masturbation.
