'…a touch of senile decay will have affected me, and I shall have no control over my conversation…' DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. Large portion of an A.L.S., Daphne, twelve pages, (missing pages four and five), 8vo, 13 Rue Jessop, (although on the printed stationery of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards, Mustapha Barracks, Alexandria), 29th December 1936, to Foy (Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier announces 'The socks are on my feet. The holly is at the mast-head of our galleon on the mantelpiece. The calendar is above the Guardsman's [her husband, Frederick Browning] desk….For all these things we send love and thanks' and writes of their 'very pleasant' Christmas, 'We were decked with Egyptian holly (an evergreen with scarlet berries, most effective) a bunch of mistletoe adorned the door, we had a real Christmas tree, and were given two turkeys! These last arrived three weeks before the feast, alive, and we were obliged to keep them in the strip of path behind the house and feed them until the day of execution. I don't think Mother would have approved, but what else could we do? We had a fine dinner, puds and pies complete, with the nice Prescotts in to help us eat it and pull crackers, and the Colonel of the Irish Guards and wife from Cairo. Boxing Day struck the usual ant-climax'. Du Maurier also playfully reflects on old age, following an illness suffered by her husband which she feels will recur throughout his life, 'in retirement at Fowey the old Colonel will be seen very red in the face on bended sticks being helped along….and everyone flying into shops at his approach. Miss Quiller-Couch in an East wind, bowed beneath scarlet umbrella, will have the same effect on the populace. I, as an elderly lady, will be milder of temper but possibly more embarrassing to meet than either of you, as a touch of senile decay will have affected me, and I shall have no control over my conversation. I shall stop total strangers in the street, and enquire their age.' The letter continues 'The poor Guardsman getting very doleful at my departure….I leave Port Said on January 16th' and concludes with an amusing anecdote, 'To finish up, here is a story for Father. We dined the other night at the Murray Grahams (I have kept the Xmas card!) after dinner our hostess sat down and played to us, with the usual deep breathings, swaying from side to side, and rolling of the eyes. When she had finished she rose with dazzling smile to dead silence. She turned to the Guardsman "And how did you like that?" "Not very much, quite frankly", replied the Guardsman, "I'm not very keen on classical music I'm afraid. Now, if you'd play something with a tune in it…" Mrs. Graham smiled pityingly, and faced the rest of her little audience. No one else spoke. And then from the back came the dry voice of a certain Dr. Gilmore. "I've decided my new hobby" said he "And what is that, Doctor, piano-playing?" enquired Mrs. Graham, with a renewal of dazzling smile. "No, the bag pipes" he said. There was an awful pause and then a rush of conversation, and everyone began talking of something else. The piano was closed and we had no more music….We have not seen Mrs. Graham since.' Du Maurier also writes a postscript expressing her distress at having just heard of General Poole's death and also enquiring of other mutual acquaintances. Some extremely light, very minor age wear, otherwise VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. In 1930 the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Lieutenant General of World War II, remembered for his important role with the First Allied Airborne Army during Operation Market Garden. Husband of Du Maurier from 1932.

A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE MOON FLASK, each side decorated with a central spiral motif surrounded by eight tapering ogee panels with Buddhist symbols, the shoulder and sides with flower sprays beneath scroll handles and a garlic-form neck, Qing, 18th century, 10.25" high. Provenance: The Collection of Edward Cozens-Smith, Esq. (1834-1925), 16 Kensington Square, London. Acquired by the Cozens-Smith family at the Maple & Co. March 26th 1928 auction of the contents of the property following his death. Thence by descent within the Cozens-Smith family. The present lot almost certainly formed part of lot 543 in the above mentioned auction in 1928. It was described in the catalogue simply as a 'Nankin Pilgrim bottle' and can be seen in the centre of the mantelpiece in the photograph opposite showing the dining room at 16 Kensington Square around 1928. This vase exemplifies the revived interest in 15th century ceramics during the 18th century and clearly refers to Xuande and Yongle prototypes.
