West, Mr. Benjamin—Much Ado About You

Mr. West (1738–1820) was a famous Anglo-American portrait artist during the Regency period. Before marrying Tess, Lucius Felton bought beautiful homes for himself, replete with portraits of other people’s ancestors. Mr. West’s painting of a Lady Boothby hangs in his bedchamber.

“A Lady Boothby. I am not certain of her first name. The portrait was by Benjamin West and dates to the 1780s.”

Tess blinked at Lady Boothby. “She’s probably still alive,” she pointed out.

“I quite like her,” Lucius said.

“So do I,” Tess agreed. “But I am not quite certain that I wish to share my chambers with Lady Boothby.”

Much Ado About You

Whittingham, Lady—Kiss Me, Annabel

At Lady Mitford’s garden party, Lady Whittingham strolls toward Imogen with her feckless husband; Imogen smiles. Lady Whittingham turns her head and walks on. For a moment Imogen pauses as if she’d been struck in the stomach, but then she too walks on, Lady Whittingham’s snub forgotten.

Willis, Mr.—Kiss Me, Annabel

Imogen mentions Mr. Willis’s exclusive establishment, Almack’s, as being dusty. She must have been time-traveling, because Almack’s Assembly Rooms wasn’t bought by Mr. Willis until 1871.

Willoughby, Lady Griselda “Grissie”—née Lady Griselda Langham, Griselda Darlington—Much Ado About You, Kiss Me, Annabel, The Taming of the Duke, Pleasure for Pleasure

Griselda is the older sister of Garret Langham, the Earl of Mayne. She looks like a china shepherdess with a complexion as creamy as a milkmaid’s and bright blue eyes. The life of a giddy widow has left her plenty of time to chaperone the Essex sisters through the maze of the London social season. She is very witty—which helps to bring Darlington to her feet—and at one point compares her husband of one year to a small dog named Milo.
