Gale Warning (2013)
“Say that you cannot endure an office life.
Continue to go to the club – from half-past six each evening till seven o’clock. Go for the last time on Friday.
Leave London for Paris on Tuesday and travel by train. (You must be prepared to stay abroad for some time.) Go to the Hotel and engage a small suite. Say that Madame will arrive the following day.
Go to Le Bourget on Wednesday to meet the midday plane. Madame will come by that, and you are to greet her exactly as you would greet a girlfriend for whom you had taken the rooms. This is most important. If she can play up, so can you.
From that time on you two will work together, and so her orders are yours. But here is a special order for you alone. ‘She is to talk and to drive, and you are to keep her straight.’ I will not set out my emotions, for they may be better imagined than written down: but I was so much excited that I could hardly think straight, and I had to take hold of myself lest my friends in Sermon Square should find my... demeanour curious and wonder what was afoot.MoreLess
