From 1939, she worked, along with her husband, for British intelligence in New York City. "We did a lot of intelligence for you because you were supposed to be neutral. I worked for the British Security Corporation which was just a front for British intelligence. At one time I worked in decoding ciphers and was decoding messages between Roosevelt and Churchill. After Pearl Harbor, you came into the war and that whole section was taken over by your intelligence service. " She returned to England in 1944.
