-her daughter Isabel married Lord Henry Somerset. Unhappy marriage. He wrote "One More Passionate Kiss, this embrace was reserved however, not for his beautiful wife but for the second footman" (Bell 14). Made public scandal and then "good society would have nothing more to do with her..she was obliged to retire from the world and decided to devote herself to the reclamation of inebriate women, a task which she undertook with so much good sense and good humour that she won the affection and admiration, not only of men of charity and good-will, but even of the women she assisted" (Bell 15)
