Lord Henry's home is Thornfield House. Then into guardianship of Rothgar, 3rd Marquess of Rothgar. Father: Marcus Myddleton, merchant adventurer/pirate.

I think this Gainsborough portrait from the right period looks a little like Damaris [bottom-left pic]. "A little tall, slim, straight-backed, apparently confident. Brown hair, commonplace features, bright eyes, wide smile. Long lidded eyes, cat like." Heroine of A Most Unsuitable Man. |
