Journalist Caleb Mortimer recounts his experience of meeting 'the most fetching woman in London', English writer, Ethel Mannin (1900-1984). Mortimer humorously describes his anticipation, and subsequent preparation, that preceded his arranged meeting with the authoress. Describing his encounter with Mannin, Mortimer writes that he 'beheld a lady with yellow hair and cerulean draperies', whose 'actual Cockney prettiness' was 'incompatible' with the 'Mona Lisa loveliness' of her portrait.

1 Cities and Ladies Caleb Mortimer , 1933 single work prose travel
— Appears in: The Home , 1 May vol. 14 no. 5 1933; (p. 29, 72)
'Dear cities and lovely ladies, memories of skylines and suppers, of teeming strasses and boulevards, of whispers and wonderments with saxophones drooling, of deceits and rare drenches with ice in the glasses...the reminiscential sic transit pangs of the man when hairdresser Time is plucking the last stalks from his cranium.

Well, I have seen a good deal of the world; doubtless I may behold a good deal more, but without alteration to the credo...the greatest town is the one where abide the most women who can endure my society. I have always associated cities with dear ones: they have given these masses of tradition and stone a special, nippy identity. What other identity they may possess I leave to be scooped up and ladled out by the traveller-authors and gazeteers.'



1 A Conversation Between an Englishman and an American C. R. Bradish , 1931 single work prose humour
— Appears in: The Home , 1 June vol. 12 no. 6 1931; (p. 40, 65)
'The scene is the lobby of a London hotel during the season. The American has the culture of a Rotarian from the Middle West and the bonhomie of an iceman who knows all his clients' wives by their Christian names. For the Englishman imagine a gravely polite gentleman with a high-bridged Norman nose and fastened to the immemorial insignia of his nationality, to wit, a bowler-hat, a tightly rolled umbrella, and a pair of yellow gloves.'
