Adeline Horsey Recollections. I remember an amusing incident that happened when I was staying with Lord (age 44) and [his wife] Lady Wilton (age 43) at Egerton Lodge Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Lord Wilton was a very handsome, fascinating man, and his numerous love affairs had gained for him the title of the "The Wicked Earl", in fact, many of the country people never called him anything else.
One Sunday Lady Wilton (age 43) and I went to church unaccompanied by Lord Wilton (age 44), who, whatever his failings might be, was usually most strict in his religious observances. Melton Church was then a very old-fashioned edifice, with high pews; and the clerk, who sat directly underneath the vicar's seat, was considered quite an important factor in the services.
I saw the clerk look at us as we entered the church, and he evidently noticed Lord Wilton's absence, but I was not prepared for what followed. The vicar duly commenced, "When the wicked ", but he was stopped by the clerk, who turned to him, and looking across at Lord Wilton's vacant seat said in a loud voice, "Please, sir, his Lordship's not come yet!".
