If I’m not mistaken, this picture appears in Agatha Christie’s autobiography.
“Briton’s”? It is a PLURAL. Britons, please.
Wicked!
Agatha Christie was such a badass!! Love it!
In The Man in the Brown Suit by Christie,published in 1924, the heroine, Anne Beddingfeld travels to South Africa and tries surfing. I wondered at that until I saw your picture.
Big woman, I love her books
