Another great story - what exactly did she smash up? No Modiglianis or Picassos, I hope. What would she have done if she had had an axe?

I wonder whether Paul Tobeler ever remarried after his "traumatic experience".

The house at 825 still exists -on Google Maps it looks to be a pretty substantial detached early C20th West Adams type house. Probably quite tony in its time -sort of fits the story.
