It was such an unusual arrangement that the pair were interviewed by Alec Waugh in the spring of 1927 for an article on modern girls.

The two girls invited Alec to a party given in Portland Place by the Ranee of Sarawak, and he brought along his brother Evelyn Waugh.

[4] Before Waugh, Gardner had been engaged at least nine times, including to a soldier, a ship's purser, and a middle-aged divorcé.

[7] After only one year of marriage, Gardner left Waugh for their mutual friend, John Heygate.
