Archie announced in December of 1926 that he decided to finally leave Agatha and marry Miss Neele. This was an utter failure and Agatha described it as "a mistake". Nancy Neele (1889-1958) was the lover, and eventually, second wife of Archibald Christie. The woman was Nancy Neele, the former secretary of Major Belcher. After a small separation, he returned to Agatha and Rosalind for reconciliation. They had a son, also named Archibald, in 1930.
