John Rea, a knight in white armours brings up the theme of contagious smiles thru Browning lines. I couldn't get the link with Ada, though I was reminded of VN's "Spring in Fialta" and generous Nina.

The shadowy Blanche moving with candles, dusting the globe and finding lost slippers in Ardis suggests another kind of conspiracy. Wouldn't her appareances and interferences serve to indicate specific hidden ancestral lines on who might be the true princess of a tale?
