The attached story related how Count and Countess Barry de la Feld, were spending three months honeymooning at The Haven, Mount Hawke, in Cornwall. The Count, the story continued, was a descendant of an ancient German family and he was the son of H.S.H. Prince Bernard de la Feld of the Holy Roman Empire, Chamberlain to the late Emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph. He was also the grandson of H.I.H. the Archduchess Elizabeth of Austria and a great-nephew of the late King of Norway.

The Count had recently married Miss Doreen Lucy Smith, a native of Bristol and the author of a number of books.
