Georgiana writes to her mother...
"...The Dss of Portland* has mortify'd me by her humility in saying that tho' Dr Georgiana was a very pretty child she was afraid she has too Cavendish a face to be a handsome woman..."
-Georgiana to Lady Spencer, June 17, 1784
*Georgiana's sister-in-law

It would deserve a slap or a curt reply, in my humble opinion.
