YET MORE THOUGHTS ON HAN SUYIN'S
A MANY SPLENDOURED THING:
A TRIBUTE TO IAN MORRISON
PETER HALLIDAY
[From the author: This Note is a sequel to that which appeared in Vol. 40, pp. 255-266. It now appears that there is a significant error in the earlier Note. My original research indicated that Mr. Morrison and Ms. Han used to meet at a pavilion behind the former site of the Foreign Correspondents' Club at 41A, Conduit Road. This does not now appear to be the case, one reason being that the FCC did not move to this location until 1951, a year after Mr. Morrison's death. Their favourite meeting place appears to have been as in the book; at 'Lovers Lane' (Conduit Path), behind Queen Mary Hospital. The confusion seems to have arisen from the fact that parts of the motion picture Love is a Many Splendored Thing were filmed at the FCC and on the steps leading up to the pavilion.
Other corrigenda are as follows:
Ms. Han's first husband was
Tang Pao Huang
Ms. Han was principally employed in the Casualty Department of Queen Mary Hospital and was not a paediatrician
Ms. Han met Mr. Ruthnaswamy
in Nepal in 1956
