Well I went to the dining car and I met a gentleman who was quite a
delightful American gentleman, I mean it was quite a co-instance,
because we girls have always heard about Henry Spoffard and it was
really nobody else but the famous Henry Spoffard, who is the famous
Spoffard family, who is a very very fine old family who is very very
wealthy. I mean Mr. Spoffard is one of the most famous familys in New
York and he is not like most gentlemen who are wealthy, but he works
all of the time for the good of the others. I mean he is the gentleman
who always gets his picture in all of the newspapers because he is
always senshuring all of the plays that are not good for peoples
morals. And all of we girls remember the time when he was in the Ritz
for luncheon and he met a gentleman friend of his and the gentleman
friend had Peggy Hopkins Joyce to luncheon and he introduced Peggy
Hopkins Joyce to Mr. Spoffard and Mr. Spoffard turned on his heels and
walked away. Because Mr. Spoffard is a very very famous Prespyterian
and he is really much to Prespyterian to meet Peggy Hopkins Joyce. I
mean it is unusual to see a gentleman who is such a young gentleman as
Mr. Spoffard be so Prespyterian, because when most gentlemen are 35
years of age their minds nearly always seem to be on something else.
So when I saw no one else but the famous Mr. Spoffard I really became
quite thrilled. Because all of we girls have tried very hard to have an
introduction to Henry Spoffard and it was quite unusual to be shut up
on a train in the Central of Europe with him. So I thought it would be
quite unusual for a girl like I to have a friendship with a gentleman
like Mr. Spoffard, who really does not even look at a girl unless she
at least looks like a Prespyterian. And I mean our family in Little
Rock were really not so Prespyterians.
