'…of course the poor things didn't know who I was, but mistook me for a lady of the town…' DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. An amusing conclusion of an A.L.S., Daphne, six pages (numbered 4, 5 and 6 to the head of the recto of each sheet), 8vo, n.p., n.d. (1930s), to [Foy Quiller-Couch]. In a social letter to her friend Du Maurier writes of an event which she attended, 'with her were those Lord and Lady Weymouth….I'm afraid they are a dreadful set. Those are the sort of people one would gladly see guillotined. It was dreadful to see old bishops and quiet worthy general's wives being elbowed out of the way. I shall remember the haggard harsh-faced Lady Stanley for a long time….she had that dreadful loud voice, and was bristling with tiaras; she was probably drunk' and also sends news of being introduced to the married quarters occupied by forty different women, 'For the first time I thanked God for Alexandria, as I was able to ask them all if they wanted to go, and it took about 5 minutes discussing it. My first start off was rather typical and unfortunate. I lost my way, and instead of getting to the married quarters, found myself in the heart of the mens barracks, where one isn't meant to go, and had to run the gauntlet while chaps at the window cat called and whistled….of course the poor things didn't know who I was, but mistook me for a lady of the town, and of course the appalling thing is that when I give prizes away at the sports this summer, some of them will perhaps recognise me, and our mutual embarassment will be agony!! Can you come up instead and pretend to be me? I obviously can't appear!' Du Maurier also writes of her eldest daughter who had been to London on a day trip with a nurse to visit family in Hampstead, remarking 'The nurse was prostrate with fatigue at the end of the day, but the child apparently was as fresh as she had been at the beginning! She is an alarming child; as she was met by Angela Halliday in a small sports car instead of by mummy in the Hillman with the grey hood, she at once turned to the nurse and said "That's not Granny's car - where's Granny's car?" She had seen the Hillman once, in February! My one hope is that she will be a wizard with an engine, and we can shut her up for hours with one, in the years long years to come! The Guardsman [her husband, Frederick Browning] is despondent, and says all his worst characteristics are appearing in his child!'. Some light age wear and minor staining to the final page, only very slightly affecting a few words of text, otherwise VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. In 1930 the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Lieutenant General of World War II, remembered for his important role with the First Allied Airborne Army during Operation Market Garden. Husband of Du Maurier from 1932. Tessa Browning (1933- ) Daughter and eldest child of Du Maurier and Browning. Her second husband is David Montgomery (1928- ) 2nd Viscount Montgomery of Alamein.

Provenance: Cyril Aubrey Nicholson (1887-1955) was a leading Sheffield stockbroker in the inter-war years. In 1934 Nicholson bought Firbeck Hall, nr. Rotherham and spent £80,000 transforming the hall into a luxurious country club, epitomising this louche age. Membership fees ranged from three to seven guineas; and the members themselves were equally far-ranging, from the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VIII) to the ill-fated Amy Johnson. The BBC even transmitted its weekly show 'Late Night Dance Music' with Henry, Carroll Gibbons and Charlie Kunz. As with most things the Second World War brought the end to this decadence: the country club hosted the Sheffield Royal Infirmary and the Royal Air Force.
