Adeline Horsey Recollections. George Bruce, the Duchess's nephew, was a source of great annoyance to her, "Hullo, Auntie Craw!" he used to call out when he saw her on the course. George was known as "The Duffer", but duffer or no, he could say spiteful things which were very much to the point. He always warned me to be very careful of his mother, Lady Ernest Bruce, whom he generally referred to as "Bellona, the goddess of war and discord". They were always quarrelling, and he disliked her intensely.
George Bruce@@ married Lady Evelyn Craven. He afterwards went to Corsica for his health, and he died at Ajaccio in 1868. He was strikingly like Napoleon Bonaparte, and wherever he went in the island the people idolised him on account of his resemblance to the great Emperor.
