Nancy Mitford Quote

A slight bore in Greece is that one is discouraged from swimming from a boat as there are sharks. This is quite new & said to be Nasser's fault, he is supposed to beckon them through the canal to eat us all up. I don't greatly fear death but it would be too ridiculous — even one's greatest friends would laugh if one were eaten I feel!
