Thanks, Anna, for this very interesting account of your research. The novel sounds terrific.
The connection with Lord Northcliffe with the hotel is interesting. As I am sure you know, he was a notorious propagandist during the First World War, to the dismay of thinking people (not least Virginia Woolf) at the time. Peter Buitenhuis, The Great War of Words (1989) is very good on Northcliffe and other propagandists. (Possibly not relevant to your research! But generally interesting, I think.) People were quite mistrustful of The Times after the FWW.
Thanks, Anna. Fascinating to learn the facts behind the fiction. Really looking forward to this next book of Marjorie’s adventures. You seem to really be on a roll with her now.

Thank you - the Buitenhuis book sounds most interesting.
