October 27, 1889


Lady Jones,  (October 27, 1889 to March 31, 1981) the wife of the chairman of Reuters, was a popular novelist. She used her maiden name, Enid Bagnold, for her writing. She remembered her father's wrath vividly, after a childhood event when she let the cat and kittens lick the butter on the table. The story would be told differently in one of her novels, The happy foreigner (1920): 

She slapped the gray cat tenderly as she lifted him off the table. "Tell them ... to hurry! ..." Yet she ate a little piece of cake, scolding the cat and the children with her mouth full...
Enid Bagnold is best known as the author of the story "National Velvet" (1935). It was made into a movie.
