Looking for Love in All the Right Places

 

When Armand spoke of love, it most often was in regards to Mary White. In 1935 he admitted to his diary that he desired "someone well-educated, intelligent, a lover of the outdoors, plus an infinite capacity for over-looking my faults."

In the next two years, he met and pursued Mary before asking her to marry him in April, 1937:

"Saturday night I told her I wanted to marry her as soon as I could afford (what a word!) it and she virtually said yes! ...It is just a question of money (small detail!) before we get married...The Lord must surely look after the interest of the unworthy likes of me!"
