Martha Gellhorn couldn't wait to get rid of the guns that Hem bought for her. Mary, his next spouse glommed onto Martha's Model 21 and liked it. After Gellhorn and Ernie split he would not allow her name to be uttered in his presence. She defeated him and she was a very respected writer. Maybe more than he was.
