Lords and ladies

[smouse]

Have lord or lady as part of answer or running through
Local water store
Her daughter found refuge amongst the cooking pots
portrait of a flapper?
Placed dramatic emphasis on a fashion accessory

[gen2]

How about 'Lady Windermere's Fan' for portrait of a flapper?

[gen2]

Lady bird, lady bird, fly away home,
Your house is on fire, your children all gone;
All but one, and her name is Ann,
And she crept under the pudding pan.

(Her daughter found refuge amongst the cooking pots)

Thanks for those and my mum will be pleased. She said the refuge among the pans was a rhyme. I didnt know it went farther than the first 2 lines - you learn something every day
