Editing Elizabeth von Arnim (section)

===Second marriage and separation, house moves, and death===
In January 1916, Arnim married [[Frank Russell, 2nd Earl Russell]], the elder brother of the philosopher [[Bertrand Russell]]. The marriage ended in acrimony, with the couple separating in 1919, although they never divorced.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Derham |first=Ruth |title=Bertrand's Brother: The Marriages, Morals and Misdemeanours of Frank, 2nd Earl Russell |publisher=Amberley |year=2021 |isbn=978-1-3981-0283-5 |location=Stroud |pages=257–283}}</ref> She then went to the United States, where her daughters Liebet and Evi were living. In 1920 she returned to her home in Switzerland, using it as a base for frequent trips to other parts of Europe.<ref name=BGG/> In the same year, she embarked on an affair with [[Alexander Stuart Frere]] (1892–1984), who later became chairman of the publishing house [[Heinemann (publisher)|Heinemann]]. Frere, 26 years her junior, initially went to stay at the Chalet Soleil to catalogue her large library, and a romance ensued. The affair lasted several years. In 1933, Frere married the writer and theater critic Patricia Wallace,<ref>{{Cite book|last=Morgan|first=Joyce|title=The Countess from Kirribilli|publisher=Allen & Unwin|year=2021|isbn=978-1-76087-517-6|location=Australia|pages=263}}</ref> and Arnim was the godmother of the couple's only daughter Elizabeth (later Elizabeth Frere Jones) who was named in her honour.<ref name=romhild/>

In 1930, Arnim set up a home in [[Mougins]] in the south of France, seeking a warmer climate. She created a rose garden there and called the house ''Mas des Roses''. She continued to entertain her social and literary circle there, as she had done in Switzerland. She kept this house to the end of her life, although she moved to the United States in 1939 at the beginning of the [[World War II|Second World War]].<ref name=BGG/> She died of [[influenza]] at the Riverside Infirmary, [[Charleston, South Carolina]], on 9 February 1941, aged 74, and was cremated at Fort Lincoln Cemetery, [[Maryland]]. In 1947 her ashes were mingled with those of her brother, Sir Sydney Beauchamp, in the churchyard of St Margaret's, Tylers Green, [[Penn, Buckinghamshire]].<ref name=ODNB/> The Latin inscription on her tombstone reads ''parva sed apta'' (small but apt), alluding to her short stature.<ref>Vickers, Salley, in the introduction to Elizabeth von Arnim, 'The Enchanted April' Penguin: 2012 {{ISBN|978-0-141-19182-9}}</ref>
