She confided that she found all American men wonderful. “I had hoped,” she added, “to capture one and take him back with me to Southampton, but unfortunately all the nicest ones I met were married.” When Mrs. Welch was asked her impression of prohibition as she had observed it, she replied: “I’m quite surprised to see how easily it works. I had more cocktails In America than ever I drink at home, and they were much better than those one usually gets in England.”
