MARRIAGE ROMANCE
DAUGHTER STARTLES MOTHER. London, Nov. 19. “Mother, Peter and I have just got married. What are you going to do about it?” This is not an extract from a novel. It is an actual declaration by a daughter to her astonished mother in a London hotel on Wednesday. Four years ago Mr. Douglas Clifford (Peter) Beauchamp, son of Sir Frank Beauchamp, met Miss Nancy Moss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Laurie Moss, of Sydney, Australia, and later they became engaged. When they met again after a fairly long separation, they decided to marry without delay, not telling their respective families. The wedding took place yesterday in the Prince’s Row Register Office, S.W. Mrs. Laurie Moss told a London Evening News representative that when Nancy brought Peter to the London hotel in which Mrs. Moss is at present staying, and made the announcement quoted above, she thought at first they were joking. “But when they produced evidence, I, quite nonplussed, but nevertheless happy, rang up Peter’s mother, Lady Beauchamp. “She answered, having recovered from the surprise, ‘Well, the obvious thing is a little celebration of some sort.’
“We telephoned available members cf the two families, and Lady Beauchamp hurriedly arranged a very jolly luncheon at the Hyde Park Hotel.”
In the afternoon the young couple decided to dash off for their honeymoon to Folkestone, where they first met.
