On Georgiana
"I regret the Duchess's departure very much. As for Lady Elisabeth, she is nice enough but one can do without her, but the Duchess has a thousand good qualities and an excellent heart."

I could learn to like Lady Sutherland!
I like the portrait. Do you know where it lives? I don't think I have it in any books.
I agree, I need to expand my knowledge of her. She was a sassy lass! Unfortunately the portrait remains a bit of a mystery. I do know it is a Romney though.
I could be friends with her :)
And what a lovely portrait! Are there any more of her? She was a knockout going by this one.
She really was lovely...and quite witty judging by this quote. I would love to learn more about her!
