The 28-year-old brother of the Duke of Argyl, Lord Colin Campbell, left his bride of nine months after a whirlwind New York courtship:
"I proposed to her over a candle-lit table in a restaurant at 3 o'clock in the morning and with twelve pints of Guinness under my belt," Campbell explained. "We spent our first night together as man and wife at a hotel in Philadelphia. She became the most passionate wife that a man could hope that she might be, but alas. Our fairy-tale marriage began to disintegrate when twenty-five-year-old Georgie, my wife, confessed that she had been a boy until the age of eighteen and had undergone a sex change."
