It was part of the charm of going there, to be greeted by a woman who didn't care who you were or which horse you had ridden in on.

Marilyn's Inferno.
Marilyn felt oppressed. The heat in London was suffocating. So much so that Marilyn felt it was positively infringing on her human rights. A respectable woman, such as she, should not have to suffer the indignity of having to hang out of her second-floor window trying to catch a breeze.
