Author’s Note

Author’s NoteThe Duchess of Devonshire, Lord Alvanley and Lord Worcester were all real people and close friends of the Prince of Wales. Lord Yarmouth, who became the Marquis of Hertford, founded the Wallace Collection, the majority of treasures coming from the collection of George IV as described in this story.
The rest of the pictures, furniture, bronzes and porcelain from Carlton House are now in the possession of Her Majesty the Queen.
Paytherus and Company a year or so later became Savory and Moore and are today still in the same shop in Bond Street.
