* I should like to express my thanks to those who so generously answered my questions and expressed their appreciation of Rica's personality and work. In particular, I thank her husband, Reginald Brown, who lent me her memoirs and filled in gaps for me, Gareth Davies, Norman Lamb, Margaret Rees, Nigel Dennis, Rafael Nadal, Molly Twemlow, Eric Southworth and Ann Mackenzie. I should have liked to be able to contact her many friends in Spain and France and her Oxford contemporaries, but this was not possible. Some of them, alas, like Jorge Guillén and Carlos Clavería, are no longer with us. Sic transit gloria mundi.
