Adeline Horsey Recollections. On my second visit to Bretby [Map] I remember we acted De Musset's play, Le Caprice. Lady Chesterfield's (age 41) daughter, [her daughter] Evelyn Stanhope (age 9), afterwards Countess of Carnarvon, and Miss Anson (age 12), afterwards Countess Howe, took the girls' parts, and I was the hero. Lady Dufferin (age 37) coached me and, what was very important, taught me to sit down like a man ! My costume was an olla podrida of other people's garments, for I wore Lady Chesterfield's (age 41) riding-trousers, Lord Cleveden's coat and waistcoat, one of [her husband] Lord Chesterfield's (age 38) shirts, and a curly wig put the finishing-touch to the character. Le Caprice was a great success, and we were highly pleased with ourselves.

On 27 Jul 1885 Anne Weld-Forester Countess Chesterfield (age 82) died.
