Alice wrote about her travels in her memoir. She really did engage in a number of adventures and I think she'd have been a fun dinner guest.

She and her husband appeared to be very staid and quiet, but they were anything but! IIRC, Alice and Henry met while they were both in Africa and both involved with other people. I can't recall who Alice was involved with, but Henry had an affair with Beryl Markham, who was married. Alice was very sporty and so was Henry, so they bonded over that. In her memoirs Alice wrote that Henry's proposal wasn't romantic They were both single again and Henry sort of mumbled about marriage one time and that was it.

I don't believe it was a love match at first. I think it was a like-match. They were both in their 30s and Henry was getting pressured to marry and settle down by his parents, while Alice thought it was time to move into a new chapter in her life. I think they grew to love each other after they got married.

Sorry, I just like Alice so much!
