To salve whatever needs salving, let me open The Duff Cooper Diaries at random:
October 7, 1918
In the afternoon I went to 18 Rue Pasquier - an establishment I knew before the war and which apparently has if anything improved since. There I was satisfied by a tall fair thin girl - rather like Nancy but better looking. Later, I met Healy at Ciro's which seemed amusing - full of tarts accompanied and unaccompanied. I dined with Healy and Carroll at the Ambassadeurs. We saw there another Grenadier - Drummond in the 2nd Battalion and asked him to join us which he did.
