Intrigued, I ordered a copy; and it has since become the favorite of all my research books. I admit, I haven\u2019t read it from start to finish but willy-nilly, a few pages here and there. Yet wherever I begin reading, Mrs. Lucy\u2019s voice immediately grabs me. It is intimate and unadorned, appealing to the modern reader. If you are a fan of Jane Austen or the late Regency and Victorian Eras, I highly recommend that you purchase this book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/MEL_cover.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2932\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/2013\/04\/review-mistress-of-charlecote-the-memoirs-of-mary-elizabeth-lucy\/mel_cover\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/MEL_cover.jpg?fit=250%2C395&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"250,395\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MEL_cover\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/MEL_cover.jpg?fit=250%2C395&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2932\" title=\"MEL_cover\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/MEL_cover.jpg?resize=250%2C395\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"395\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the passages in her memoirs that really struck me was the description of her marriage to George Lucy in 1823. When her father informed her that she was to marry Mr. Lucy, she knelt and pleaded with him to refuse. But her father\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0relent. She writes, \u201cI had been brought up to obey my parents in everything and, though I dearly loved Papa, I had always rather feared him.\u201d Mary Elizabeth runs to her mother in the nursery and weeps. Her mother assures the distraught young woman that she will learn to love her husband &#8212; an assumption that later proves correct. On her twentieth birthday, Mr. Lucy visited Elizabeth Lucy at her home, Boddlewyddan, in Wales (I\u2019ve been there!), bringing her a Brussels lace wedding veil and jewelry made of diamonds and rubies. They were married on December 2nd by special license at St. Asaph. With tears in her eyes, Mary Elizabeth\u2019s old nurse dressed her in a white silk bridal robe. Her new lady\u2019s maid arranged her hair in a \u201cwreath of orange blossoms.\u201d Four bridesmaids wore \u201csimple white cashmere, their bonnets lines with pink, my favorite color.\u201d Lucy writes, \u201cThe solemnisation of the matrimony over, as I rose from my knees I fainted away.\u201d Her nurse sprinkled water on the bride\u2019s face to help her recover. Once the marriage was attested, the new Mrs. Lucy was dressed in a swan\u2019s down tippet and muff that was \u201clarge enough for a harlequin to jump through (the fashion of the time)\u201d. The bridesmaids threw old satin shoes for \u201cgood luck\u201d and she rode away in her husband\u2019s new carriage that was drawn by four horses with postilions, all decorated in \u201cwhite favours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The book has lovely, realistic stories of society balls, dinner parties, Queen Victoria, and the Great Exhibition. Mrs. Lucy, widowed at forty-two, lived into her eighties. She had many children, several of whom died in infancy or youth and there are accounts of their illnesses and her anguish in the book. In all, the volume is a gracious description of a gentlewoman&#8217;s life in Victorian England.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about Charlecote and Mary Elizabeth Lucy at <a href=\"http:\/\/charlecoteparknt.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Charlecote Uncovered<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janeausten.co.uk\/mary-elizabeth-williams-lucy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Another review of <em>Mistress of Charlecote \u2013 The Memoirs of Mary Elizabeth Lucy<\/em> on the Jane Austen Centre website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several years ago, I was browsing through a research book \u2013 the title now escapes me \u2013 when I followed a tiny bibliographic note to a memoir titled Mistress of Charlecote \u2013 The Memoirs of Mary Elizabeth Lucy.
