the greatest tomboy on the Isle of
Jersey Really, now, would you think
it?
THE principal event in most wom-
ems lives is to marry. Indeed it's es-
sential. l married very early in life.
1t was also early in the morning.
o'clock! Think of getting out of bed
at in the morning to be married!
Why did l? Because we had to catch
the 6 o'clock boat to Southampton,
Mr.. Langtry's home, where we spent
our honeymoon.

as my brothers. l studied under their
tutors, pursued the same Studies and
