Rafael and Ruth were preparing to go to Scotland the next day-this was April 1, 1927-to see Rafael's stage production of Scaramouche, so they were wrapping up their stay in Brockweir House, the country home they'd rented. Rafael took a friend to the train station in Gloucester, while Ruth and Binkie went for a ride themselves to Monnmouth.
On the way back from the train station, Rafael saw a wreck. With a wrenching feeling, he knew it was Binkie's car. Alongside the road was the body of his beloved son, expiring. They took Binkie back to Brockweir House, but it was too late. Their son was dead. Ruth, however, was all right. She was thrown from the car and knocked unconscious, so she mercifully had no recollection of the events.
Rafael and Ruth were devastated by the death of their only child. Rafael didn't seem to write much for some time, but what he did write, he said, was like a lifeline in his deep depression. Personal problems continued to mount. Apparently Binkie had been the only thing holding the couple together. Rafael and Ruth divorced in 1931. They admitted in court that the marriage had been an unhappy one.
