Sigrid Undset, the Norwegian author of Kristin Lavransdatter and winner of the 1928 Nobel Prize for Literature, was an outspoken critic of Hitler and the Nazis from the early 1930s. When Germany occupied Norway in 1940, Undset fled to the U.S., and lived in Brooklyn Heights until the end of the war. Here she is selecting books from her library to donate to soldiers and sailors, February 1, 1942.

Yeah, there's a lot of deception going on....
"A sinister smile that spells trouble" oddly refers to both of them here. "Smile" (our earl) isn't smiling, but that was the name he was given, but "Black" is smiling, and we know his sinister nature.
More to come soon, but I'm still reading.

Eleanor Roosevelt, left, talks with Helen Keller, center, at the American Foundation for Overseas Blind dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, February 1, 1955. Keller and Polly Thomson, right, her companion and personal secretary, would leave on February 4 on a tour of South Asia to campaign for facilities for the physically handicapped. The event, as well as her travel, was hosted by the American Foundation for Overseas Blind, Inc. During the dinner Mrs. Roosevelt praised Keller as a "good will ambassador to the world."
According to an article in the New York Times on February 2, 1955, "The blind and deaf educator and author, who is 74 years old, will leave this Friday on a 40,000-mile tour of India, Pakistan, Burma, the Philippines and Japan… Its purpose is to inspire the expansion of facilities for the assistance of the sightless and hard of hearing."
Douglas Edwards, CBS News anchor, hosted the event.
