Marjorie Ritchie studied at the Slade, and married Ian Parsons, later Chairman of Chatto and Windus in 1934. Ian and Marjorie Parsons were close friends of Leonard Woolf; Trekkie kept Leonard company at Monks House, Rodmell in Sussex when Ian was in London, and was Leonard's companion on his travels to France, Greece, Israel, and his memorable return to Ceylon in 1960. She made the last part of his life a very happy one.
