Miss Brocaw came to realize that her dreamboat had wooed and wed her because she was in the employ of the American Embassy. When he found out that she was merely a file clerk he left her. She always ended her story with a flip of her hand and the words, “C’est la vie - end of story.”

Thank you, I needed closure on that anecdote. I would have guessed he was looking for U.S. citizenship, but even with her as a file clerk, he could have gotten that. I wonder if she ever saw, I Was a Male War Bride with Cary Grant? She sounds like an interesting teacher.
