The future Lady Hamilton was affectionate and impulsive, good-humored, with generous instincts and a quick temper; but she was also ambitious and exceptionally clever. She loved Greville warmly; but she took to heart the hard truths of his teachings, and they sank deep in a congenial soil.
Towards the end of November one day Daventry said to Dion in the Greville Club: "Beatrice is going to give a dinner somewhere, probably at the Carlton. She thought of the twenty-eighth.

Her husband, however, only laughed good-humouredly whenever she ventured to remonstrate, and told her not to trouble herself or Mary about such things; they had enough, and he would take care that sufficiency should not fail.
