The Countess remembered as a child going to a ball given by. William IV • she had heard Tom Moore sing some of 'his own songs at her father's house, and she recollected the Marquis ol Hertford, whose character she held had been grievously misrepresented bv Thackeray when he portrayed him as Lord Steyne. The Countess iust missed marrying a possible Legitimist heir to the Spanish Throne and became instead the wife of the seventh Earl of Cardigan, who led the famous charge of the Light Brgiado at Balaclava. After Lord Cardigan s death Disraeli is said to have been among her suitors, and she discussed his proposal with the then Prince of Wales, who did not view it favourably. Her second husband was a Portuguese Count, who died in 1898. The Countess gave the world a volume of Recollections, -which is said to have shocked a good many people by its frankness, but her statements may have been true,' for all that. She lived through five reigns, and has probably left no contemporary who has had a tithe of her romantic experiences.
