 Mary Anne Disraeli, 1st Viscountess Beaconsfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Anne Disraeli, 1st Viscountess Beaconsfield (11 November 1792 - 15 December 1872), born Mary Anne Evans, married Wyndham Lewis and then, after her first husband's death, Benjamin Disraeli.
It was as a reward for his services to the nation that Queen Victoria made Mary Anne a peeress in her own right, Viscountess Beaconsfield, of Beaconsfield in the County of Buckingham, years before Disraeli accepted the honour of becoming Earl of Beaconsfield.
Staid Victorians were often scandalised by Mary Anne's uninhibited remarks but soon learned not to insult her within Disraeli's hearing.

 Frederica and the Viscountess
By the time Joanna was ready (she had parted from Marie easily enough in the end; perhaps her heart had not been engaged by the diminutive actress after all), bribes were the order of the day and the price of horses had become so exorbitant as to make them out of the question.
The Viscountess sighed, twiddled her thumbs, sang a saucy song she had learned from Marie (in the original French, but Dorothea still understood enough to tut loudly at some parts), then glanced at her abigail.
Frederica would have liked to stay to see the Viscountess alight and study her properly, but Amelia chose that moment to sneeze, which brought out the mother hen in Mrs Lynton, and without further ado they were ushered inside.

Apparently, the "Viscountess" insulted Anlise and Sunnie on the ferry from Leth to Crossing by coldly shunning their warm gestures of friendship, gestures that used to be quite frequent my sources tell me.
The coldness shown by the "Viscountess" affected the young barddesses so that it brought tears to Sunnie's eyes and the poor lass wept.
