Good+ Hon. Eleanor Theodora Roby Benson (1906-1968) and Hon. Betty Ellen Askwith (1909-1995) collaborated with Nicolas Bentley (1907-1998; then, three years shy of illustrating T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats) on a clutch of commercially successful 'In a nutshell' titles of fashionably flippant humour. Both women had writing careers, Benson as a travel writer and novelist (under 'T.B.') and Askwith as a biographer. Lady Ellen Askwith (née Peel; 1909-1962) was the mother of Betty Askwith, and, like her daughter, an author, having turned her hand to journalism following the death of her first husband; she published two novels as Mrs Henry Graham. Lady Askwith was appointed C.B.E. in 1918, for her work during WWI with the YMCA and national kitchens (ODNB for George Ranken Asquith).

With Bentley's distinctive stylized signature 'Nicolas Bentley'. After thanking him for his letter he writes (apparently with reference to a newspaper article): 'I am sorry if in using the phrase "I am afraid" I ruffled your grammatical sensibilities. I used it because I meant it. I am always afraid of hurting people's feelings, and I know that sometimes the return of a manuscript must give pain to an author.' He agrees that the phrase is used to often, as a substitute for 'I am sorry'.
