 | | Meriel, Lucy, Lavinia and May, the daughters of George, fourth Lord Lyttelton, were the nieces of the Prime Minister William Gladstone, with whose family they were on intimate terms. |
 | | Their letters and diaries make it possible for us to know them and share their feelings in extraordinary detail: at home at Hagley Hall in Worcestershire and in fashionable London society; at country houses and on tours to the Continent; in the schoolroom and embarking on courtship and marriage; in happiness and in adversity. |
 | | Lucy, herself later a pioneer in women's education, married Lord Frederick Cavendish, who became Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1882 and was tragically murdered by Irish patriots in Phoenix Park, Dublin, the day he arrived. |
