Among the frenis of the De Horseys was the famous, or perhaps one should say notorious, Lord Cardigan, who was tried by his peers for fighting a duel with a subaltern, and who led the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. Lord Cardigan married unhappily, as was the case with most of the people mentioned in this book, and was separated though net divorced from his wife. In 1857 Mre. and Miss de Horsey went to stay with Lond Cardigan at Deene Park, in Northamptonshire, and "this visit was destined to change the whole of the young lady's life." Miss de Horsey was now thirty-three and Lord Cardigan sixty. He followed his guests on their return to London, and very soon his marked atten- tions became the topic of much spitefal and jealous gossip.
