Henry Chaplin A Memoir: Youth I. It must have been immediately after the marriage of Diana Chaplin (age 18), and probably in honour of that event, that a masquerade was held at Blankney Hall, of which a list of some of the principal guests and their impersonations has been preserved. Thomas Chaplin having died in 1747, his son John (age 28), who was not yet married, was presumably the host on this occasion. He chose for himself the character of Henry V Ill., and if he enjoyed the same splendid proportions as his descendant, the last Squire, his choice was justified. An old yellow torn sheet of paper has been preserved on which in faded ink is written:

Among all this motley crowd, not the least imposing figure was probably that of Sir Francis Dashwood (age 40), appropriate in the character chosen, since he was one of the most prominent supporters of the Hell Fire Club.1

Note 1. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer. Wilkes described him as one who from puzzling all his life at tavern bills was called by Lord Bute to administer the finances of the Kingdom which were 100 millions in debt He was the founder of the Society of the Franciscans at Medmenham Abbey, where the door was surmounted by the motto, "Fay ce que voudras" ["Do Whatever You Want"], and where he played the part of an immoral buffoon for the amusement of Privy Councillors and Members of Parliament.

Henry Chaplin A Memoir: Youth VI. Lord Henry Bentinck had died, I think, on the last day of 18701, and the Party Dinner was given quite early in the following year, 1871. As I was shown into the room, Mr. Disraeli said to me, "Both you and I have lost a great friend since we last parted." I replied, "Yes, Sir, I know that poor Lord Henry and you were great friends at one time, and he has often talked to me about you in those days." "Ah!" said Disraeli, "that is true, and I always wished it could have remained so." And then, after pausing a moment, he went on to say this, "I always said of Henry Bentinck that, taking him all round, I think he was probably the ablest man I ever knew, and with some eccentricities of character he combined the highest qualities of human nature in a greater degree than any I ever was acquainted with." This was a tribute, coming from a man such as Mr. Disraeli, which was indeed striking. It was as just in my opinion as it was striking, in view of the sacrifice which Lord Henry had made from regard for his brother's memory and aspirations, for a man with whom he was at that time not even on speaking terms.

Note 1. This is correct.
