XX [Co-Pilot AI] Martha Gordon Crotch (1879-1967) was an English-born expatriate who became known as the proprietor of The Peasant Shop in Vence, France. She lived a long life that intersected with many notable figures in early 20th century intellectual and artistic circles. Her personal diaries (1935-1956) and papers reveal close friendships with prominent radicals and writers, including Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman, Emmy Eckstein, Frieda Lawrence, and Norman Douglas.

There is no evidence that they were lovers, but they behaved like a married couple. The primary inspiration for their travels was to pursue sexual encounters with boys and the older male youth whom Orioli preferred. Richard Aldington, who knew Orioli, wrote that Orioli had an instinctive and unconquerable physical aversion from women.…
