MAYERNE

The following letter from Dorothy Osborne to Sir William Temple escaped my notice until too late to include it in my chapter on Lindsey House. I give it as printed in Courtenay's "Life of Temple" (vol. ii. p. 324).

"What a sad story you tell me of the little marquise! Poor woman! Yet she's happy, she's dead; for sure her life could not be very pleasing to her. When we were both girls I had a great

acquaintance there; they lived by us at Chelsea, and as long as his son lived, Sir Theodore did me the honour to call me daughter; but whilst I was first in France he died, and with him my converse with the family, for though my mother had occasion to be often there, yet I went very seldom with her: they were still so passionate for their son that I never failed of setting them all a crying, and then I was no company for them. But this poor lady had a greater loss of my Lord Hastings, who died just when they should have been married; and sure she could not think she had recovered it at all by marrying this buffle headed Marquis; and yet one knows not neither what she might think. I remember I saw her with him in the Park, a little while after they were married, and she kissed him the kindliest that could be in the midst of all the company. I shall never wish to see a worse sight than it was.'

"

It seems that Dorothy's mother was sister to Sir John Danvers of Chelsea: certainly not daughter, as has been stated. As for the Marquise, she was doubtless Elizabeth, not Adriana; though both sisters were Marquises.

Sir Theodore Mayerne's marriage licence (August 1, 1630) describes him as of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Knight, widower, aged 57; and his wife as Isabella Vanderbergh, of Chelsea, widow, aged 32, relict of Francis Vanderbergh, Esq. (Chester).
