She was Mastor of the Wanchai Hunt, the first woman to fill that role. She weighed fifteen stone in her riding-bools (there's a pair of 'em still, in the county museum at Biggleswade); she rode astride, with a brandy-flask in each of her saddle bags; she mopped up claret at her hunt-breakfasts as you or 1, Gertie, might mop up tea. A great character; and a great lover of horses.

When she died she bequeathed to her stallion, Pindar, a pension of eighteen guineas a year. He sur vived until 1841, and the entire Hunt, in pink, was at his funeral. Little poor old Pindar cared.
