  • Captain Philip Green married Mabel Emilie Scott after Lady Clementina Camden died in 1886; he was guardian of the children of Lady Camden and John, Marquess of Camden, including the next Marquess. According to an 1898 article in the St. James's Gazette about that young Marquess's engagement, Philip Green had married "Miss Scott, the eldest daughter of Lady Farquhar."[3] According to the Morning Post, she was "Miss Scott, eldest daughter of Lady Scott, of 7, Grosvenor-square, and the late Sir Edward Scott, of Sundridge Park, Kent."[4] Her mother, Emilie Packe Scott, had remarried after the baronet’s death in 1883, to Horace Brand Farquhar, 1st Earl Farquhar;[5] they both also attended the ball.
  • After Philip Green died on 17 November 1904, Mabel Scott Green remarried, to Sidney Ernald Ralph Lane, on 5 August 1905.[6]
  • Mabel Emilie Scott’s father was Sir Edward Henry Scott, 5th Baronet[6] (19 February 1842 – 1 August 1883[7]), who bred pheasants and was friends with Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who visited his Sunridge Park for shooting parties. Scott had a train station built for his family’s use after the Bromley North railway line opened in 1878; in 1896 a “rebuilt station” opened. A.J. Balfour opened the Sunridge Park golf course in 1903.[8]

Sir John Charles Pratt, 4th Marquess Camden

edit

At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, John, Marquis of Camden (at 341) was dressed as Duc de Richelieu in the Quadrille of the Louis XV. and Louis XVI.[14]

Lafayette's portrait of "John Charles Pratt, 4th Marquess Camden as Duc de Richelieu" in costume is photogravure #257 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[15] The printing on the portrait says, "Marquis Camden as Duc de Richelieu."[16]

Almost all portraits of Duc de Richelieu or Cardinal Richelieu show him dressed as a cardinal rather than a courtier and in red. One painted in 1881 that has him in armor has him also dressed as a cleric in red. Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1839 Richelieu: Or the Conspiracy: A Play in Five Acts is the source of the line "the pen is mightier than the sword."[17] Bulwer-Lytton's collected works continued to be published through the century, with recent editions in the 1890s that include black-and-white line drawings of courtiers.
