Note 8 — JOURNAL OF ELIZABETH LADY HOLLAND
Reading edition
Miss Holroyd’s description of Lady Webster on this expedition is amusing: ‘If anybody ever offends you so grievously that you do not recollect any punishment bad enough for them, only wish them on a party of pleasure with Lady Webster! The ceremony began with irresolution in the extreme whether they should or should not go! How and which way they should go? And everything that was proposed she decidedly determined on a contrary scheme, and as regularly altered her mind in a few hours’ (Girlhood of Maria Josepha Holroyd, p. 65).
