Possible imagination booster

I'm bringing you a rather lovely photo I found. I sincerely hope it will create some rabid plot bunnies for a fic.
It's really Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, but I couldn't help remembering moments such as:

Biggles took out one of his three remaining cigarettes, broke it in halves, gave Algy one half,
and then lighted both with the same match.

I read that recently but I can't remember which book it was in!!! Dreadful. Please could you put me out of my misery... Good photo - apart from the hairstyles - but maybe it was just after WWI and their hair hadn't yet grown back :-)

I find it interesting that Johns uses 'lighted' rather than 'lit'.

It's from Biggles Flies South ;)

This photo was taken sometime around 1935, so the hairstyles (although almost invisible here) shouldn't be that much off.

Yes, I wondered about that too, but dictionary says both is possible, so he wasn't deliberately trying to spoil our grammar :D
