Transcript:
Nancy: Oh, dear.
Signs read: MADAM ZAZA FORTUNES TOLD
Nancy: Oh, Aunt Fritzi---I had my fortune told by Madam ZaZa---She said a tall brunette was going to cause me some unpleasantess.
Bottle reads: CASTOR OIL
“Zaza” is another name for a “Dubonnet cocktail”, which is made by combining Dubonnet and gin. I think it was invented or popularized by the bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, and named after a character in a movie. I know all this because it is the Queen’s signature drink. It’s what she has before dinner during her Christmas celebration.

OMG! A BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY. THE NAME, NANCY. It is now obvious that this Nancy grew up to become…
