Conservative Member of Parliament Geoffrey Dickens tells of attending a fair in his constituency and being followed around by a sweet but exceptionally ugly woman whom he couldn't get rid of. A few days later he got an admiring letter from her asking for his photograph, and signed, after her name, '(Horseface).' Dickens was touched by her humorous modesty and sent off a picture autographed, 'To Horseface, with best wishes, Geoffrey Dickens.' Some time later his secretary asked him, 'Did you get that letter from the woman at the fair? I wrote 'Horseface' after her name so you'd know which one she was.'
