The reference to Unity Mitford is correct. However, the accompanying reference to Nancy Mitford is not. Nancy was a political moderate, not a Communist. There was another Mitford sister (Jessica?) who was the family Communist, but she is not name-dropped in the Fifth Elephant. So the annotation should only reference Unity as an allusion to Unity Mitford, the fascist sympathizer.

Unity and Nancy Mitford

The reference to Unity Mitford is correct. However, the accompanying reference to Nancy Mitford is not. Nancy was a political moderate, not a Communist. There was another Mitford sister (Jessica?) who was the family Communist, but she is not name-dropped in the Fifth Elephant. So the annotation should only reference Unity as an allusion to Unity Mitford, the fascist sympathizer. (unsigned comment by Epithymetic, 6 September 2024‎)
