...late Mrs. Simpson has hurried home from Riviera parties by midnight, for Windsor has taken to telephoning her at odd moments in the dead of night, as well as morning & evening. He sent her last week a home movie titled I Take Ski Lessons full of spills. Abruptly this week Mrs. Simpson and her Cannes hosts Mr. & Mrs. Herman L. Rogers piled into the royal Buick, sped toward the French chateau country through a rainstorm. All Mrs. Simpson's previous large trunks plus three new ones just arrived from Paris were shipped after her from Cannes. Riviera friends said...
