Jane Austen Mysteries 10 Jane And The Madness Of Lord Byron - Plot & Excerpts
First, however, I was required to witness Lady Caroline Lamb's retirement from the field--sensible at last, and carried aloft on a hurdle, with her riding habit trailing to the ground like a heroine out of Shakespeare.I must observe, as an aside, that I am forever put in mind of the stage when I am treated to one of Caro Lamb's scenes; and I am hardly alone in this. Her life is lived on so dramatic a plane that the theatre cannot be far from one's thoughts. This reflection leads me inevitably to another: Does the air of High Tragedy persist, even when the lady is entirely alone, and playing only to her mirror?I should like a private interview with Lady Caroline--she betrayed herself as so completely in possession of the history of Catherine Twining, when she chose to spar with Lady Oxford, that I imagine she gained rather more of the child's confidence than she admitted at the inquest. It is even possible she might say more of her parting from Catherine--the exact hour and circumstance that left the poor girl without escort home to Church Street--if properly managed.And what, I wonder, is the significance of the name Leila?
