Haggard's She was wife to no man.

I thought she was quite mad.....she obviously hadn't bothered to check the Norwegian climate...an *air conditioner* LOL!
I think the husband put up with it to have a quiet life and so that she wouldn't veto the move to Norway.
Of course, the houses they viewed had neither of the things she wanted....and they ended up buying a plot of land and building a house. She did mention that they found it very difficult to find a place to buy the air conditioning hardware and the waste disposal unit in Norway....

Englishman..I remember that magazine
It is strange how a word can change from being a nothing word to something much different. I have quite a few books with " It was a Gay day" or She was happy and gay they are off course from the 30's and 40's.
