Evelyn's Diary. 06 Dec 1660. I waited on my brother (age 43) and sister Evelyn to Court. Now were presented to his Majesty (age 30) those two rare pieces of drollery, or rather a Dutch Kitchen, painted by Dowe, so finely as hardly to be distinguished from enamel. I was also shown divers rich jewels and crystal vases; the rare head of Jo. Bellino, Titian's master; Christ in the Garden, by Hannibal Caracci; two incomparable heads, by Holbein; the Queen-Mother (age 51) in a miniature, almost as big as the life; an exquisite piece of carving; two unicorn's horns, etc. This in the closet.
Pepy's Diary. 06 Dec 1666. So to supper and to bed. This day, in the Gazette, is the whole story of defeating the Scotch rebells, and of the creation of the Duke of Cambridge (age 3), Knight of the Garter.
Evelyn's Diary. 06 Dec 1680. One thing my Lord (age 66) said as to Oates (age 31), which I confess did exceedingly affect me: That a person who during his depositions should so vauntingly brag that though he went over to the Church of Rome, yet he was never a Papist, nor of their religion, all the time that he seemed to apostatize from the Protestant, but only as a spy; though he confessed he took their sacrament; worshiped images, went through all their oaths and discipline of their proselytes, swearing secrecy and to be faithful, but with intent to come over again and betray them; that such a hypocrite, that had so deeply prevaricated as even to turn idolater (for so we of the Church of England termed it), attesting God so solemnly that he was entirely theirs and devoted to their interest, and consequently (as he pretended) trusted; I say, that the witness of such a profligate wretch should be admitted against the life of a peer,-this my Lord looked upon as a monstrous thing, and such as must needs redound to the dishonor of our religion and nation. And verily I am of his Lordship's opinion: such a man's testimony should not be taken against the life of a dog. But the merit of something material which he discovered against Coleman, put him in such esteem with the Parliament, that now, I fancy, he stuck at nothing, and thought everybody was to take what he said for Gospel. The consideration of this, and some other circumstances, began to stagger me; particularly how it was possible that one who went among the Papists on such a design, and pretended to be intrusted with so many letters and commissions from the Pope and the party,-nay, and delivered them to so many great persons,-should not reserve one of them to show, nor so much as one copy of any commission, which he who had such dexterity in opening letters might certainly have done, to the undeniable conviction of those whom he accused; but, as I said, he gained credit on Coleman. But, as to others whom he so madly flew upon, I am little inclined to believe his testimony, he being so slight a person, so passionate, ill bred, and of such impudent behavior; nor is it likely that such piercing politicians as the Jesuits should trust him with so high and so dangerous secrets.

Evelyn's Diary. 06 Dec 1697. I went to Kensington with the Sheriff, Knights, and chief gentlemen of Surrey, to present their address to the King (age 47). The Duke of Norfolk (age 42) promised to introduce it, but came so late, that it was presented before be came. This insignificant ceremony was brought in in Cromwell's time, and has ever since continued with offers of life and fortune to whoever happened to have the power. I dined at Sir Richard Onslow's (age 43), who treated almost all the gentlemen of Surrey. When we had half dined, the Duke of Norfolk (age 42) came in to make his excuse.

Daily News 1910 Dec 06. TORRINGTON MARRIAGE.
The marriage of Lord Torrington (age 24) and Miss Eleanor Souray (age 30), the actress, apparently came as a great surprise; to those 'tiresome busybodies' who always exhibit annoyance if they are not con- sulted in these matters by "the high contracting parties." They were mar ried at the church of the British Em- bassy in Paris, and the event -was a chapter in what may fairly be called a turf romance.
For some time Miss Souray had been an enthusiastic sportswoman. At Epsom she had — and as Lady Torrington still retains — a stable of about fifteen horses in training by Mr. E. G. Goby at Epsom. One of these is called Darrara. This animal she entered for one of the principal events, at the Ostend race meeting of a couple of months ago, and the owner herself went over to the Belgian resort. In the paddock she learn that the favorite for the race in which Darrara was to run was Lord Torrington's Abelard II. Her own horse stood at 19 to 1 against. Abelard II, however, was not in his top form, whereas Darrara was in the pink of condition. None the less, it was a great surprise, even to the owner, to see Darrara sweep past the favorite, and come in a comparatively easy winner.
When the owner of Abelard II. had recovered from his astonishment; he entered the paddock to find and con gratulate the owner of Darrara. In a more formal way than when he first made her acquaintance, Lord Torrington was introduced to Miss Souray. They had a long talk; mainly about racing and motoring, and the following day they went out for a long motor ride together. Lord Torrington discovered his companion was a British sportswoman, and that they had many tastes in common, and lost no time in making her Viscountess Torrington. Voila tout.
Abelard II, who thus unconsciously was instrumental in bringing about the romantic match, ran in the Cambridgeshire.
The new Lady Torrington was one of the tallest actresses of the London stage. Her height, nearly approaches 6 feet. She made her first appearance about twelve years ago, and later play- ed in "School for Scandal", "The Rivals," and "Letty" in which latter production she achieved considerable success as Hilda Gunning, Miss Violet Vanbrugh taking the same part. Then Miss Souray, who acted under her real name, took to musical comedy. In "The Girl from Kay's" and "The Blue Moon" she was an acceptable member of the cast. — The "Indian Field."
