"I am determined to stick by Moper in London or in Timbucktoo", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. 'Bing', Menabilly, 9th September 1957, two page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') Daphne tells of her fight to save her marriage, 'I have had a long and serious chat with him about the future, not dwelling on either London trouble or Fowey trouble by saying... that he must not continue in the habit of rushing backwards and forewards in the sleeper from London to Mena every weekend... so I have told him I am prepared to come up and be with him in London, and organise a home up there', Daphne considers 'I don't think it is right for him to go back to where he was - a scappy life up there for three days, and then two days down here - no man can stand it and there comes a breaking point in sheer physical health', she continues 'at the moment his emotional mood is "Oh, I have made so many people unhappy", which is perfectly true, but no good comes of merely sitting and down and moping about it', of her husband's mistresses 'if they see I am determined to stick by Moper in London or in Timbucktoo and not leave him, the desire may go out of the game... after listening to the most inspiring talk I have ever heard on T.V. by the Catholic arch bish of Liverpool on marriage, I feel I must try and make ours go the right way, even at this late stage'.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)
