Yes, I've had a good look too and can't find anything DID related. The luxury and book weren't added to the series until much later. The only woman I can find who appeared in the first series was Beatrice Lillie and although you can find tiercel in the middle of her name its not 4,3

Is the bird a Roc by any chance, there was a french woman with roc in her name but stranded hundreds of years earlier and a longer name. I know this isnt right but it may ring some bells.a

Just been reading a book and an Eden Roc cafe was mentioned so I put that in search, Arthur C Clarke wrote a book called Castaway so think it may have something to do with that. I havent time to follow this up but if you get the right answer Id be pleased to know.
