Googling this evening, found 'Messalina's Monkey' by Grace - which led me - inadvertently - to this - which I hadn't realised was a short story at first(but thought an article describing a recent encounter she'd had!) I was totally captivated by her fascinating, detailed description of the beautiful, ancient man - and stayed reading... ! Wonderfully rich, compelling and evocative!
