Camelford, nee Jessica Dearwood, at twenty had been an uncanny-looking creature, the only thing about her appealing to general masculine taste having been her magnificent eyes, and even these had frightened more than they had allured. At forty, Mrs. Camelford might have posed for the entire Juno. "Yes, he's a cunning old joker is Time," murmured Mr. Everett, almost inaudibly.
Yet it pleases me to write as long as I have your assurance that it pleases you to read. Pray, give my kindest remembrances to your wife, and to Camelford also, if he should happen to come your way. He was on the Mississippi when last I heard. XII. OAKLEY VILLAS, BIRCHESPOOL, 5th June, 1882.
And at Camelford was assembled sixty thousand men, and more thousands thereto; Modred was their chief. Then thitherward gan ride Arthur the mighty, with innumerable folk fated though it were!
In 1806 he offered to take charge of an expedition for the invasion of Paris, being probably impelled thereto by the mad attempt of Lord Camelford several years before.
Jessica Dearwood, an orphan, had been brought up by a distant relative. She had not been the child to win affection. Of silent, brooding nature, every thoughtless incivility had been to her an insult, a wrong. Acceptance of young Camelford seemed her only escape from a life that had become to her a martyrdom.

The last great battle, according to all authentic tradition, was fought against Picts, and what would Picts have been doing in Cornwall?
Camelford, whom previously I had not met, certainly seemed to me one of the handsomest women I have ever seen. Mrs. Armitage I knew her when she was Alice Blatchley I found more charming as a woman than she had been as a girl. What she could have seen in Armitage I never could understand. Camelford made his mark some ten years later: poor fellow, he did not live long to enjoy his fame.
Now twenty years later, when I am just getting used to him, he calmly turns round and says he would have been better without me." "I heard something about it at the time," said Mrs. Armitage. "You were very much in love with somebody else, were you not?" "Is not the conversation assuming a rather dangerous direction?" laughed Mrs. Camelford. "I was thinking the same thing," agreed Mrs. Everett.
Horne Tooke from the House of Commons; he having been elected for that rotten borough by Lord Camelford, who was then the proprietor of it. The ground of his being ineligible to sit in the Honourable House was, that he had formerly taken priest's orders. This fact being proved, a law was passed, by which Mr. Horne Tooke was excluded from sitting in future.
