Lady Chesterfield's daughter, Evelyn Stanhope, afterwards Countess of Carnarvon, and Miss Anson, afterwards Countess Howe, took the girls' parts, and I was the hero. Lady Dufferin 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 riding-trousers, Lord Cleveden's coat and waistcoat, one of Lord Chesterfield's 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 died.
