Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 9th April 1923

—

Monday 9th April — Hackwood¹

Have been spending a few days here … a simpatico party … Lady Curzon, glittering, gracious and a supreme hostess, all the Duggans;² Lady Patricia Herbert³ (the very nicest girl in London, although Lady Mary Ashley⁴ runs her neck and neck …) … Mrs Vansittart,⁵ an affected American, Paul of Serbia⁶ …. Lord Curzon is away doing a Coué cure⁷ for the benefit of his leg or brow beating some important conference for the welfare of civilisation … I forget which. Lady Curzon told us of a conversation she had with Lord Balfour⁸ a few evenings ago. He was unusually playful and she depressed and discouraged, she is subject to unaccountable fits of Weltschmerz,⁹ which result, I think, from something unsatisfied in her.¹⁰ He tried to console her and talked to her beautifully about life and all she had to live for … her husband, the world’s most striking and brilliant man … her children charming … her friends many … her beauty unsurpassed. Next day he wrote her an inimitable note to say how much he had enjoyed being next to her. She, delighted, said to Lady Cunard¹¹ as she read it: ‘AJB is an angel — I should like to kiss him on the forehead’. Maud repeated this to him and his only comment was: ‘Why the forehead?’ Maud Cunard motored to Hackwood with Serge Obolensky¹² for what she calls ‘the day in the country’ on Sunday. They arrived at six o’clock. She pretended never to have seen plus fours before and said ‘And what has little Paul got on? And Chips¹³ too what are they?’ She made us rock with laughter for two hours with stories about herself and her hatred of the country, etc. She said that all Nancy’s troubles were due to the fact that her father ‘my dear at the age of 12 had put her … put her on a horse, a four-legged horse’. As she was leaving we loaded her car with guns, tennis racquets, golf clubs, etc. She was much flustered at this or pretended to be and shook hands with a footman and ‘bobbed’ to the butler and was amazing but delicious … all pink and white, like a sweet, and dressed in a costume de sport made by Vionnet.¹⁴ Serge was anxious to return as he is wooing Alice Astor.¹⁵ I introduced them … I shall now have this new romance on my conscience.

—

1. Hackwood Park, near Basingstoke in Hampshire, rented by Lord Curzon from 1906 until 1925.

2. Lady Curzon’s children by her first marriage: Alfred Duggan (1903–64), who became a minor novelist; Hubert Duggan (1904–43), Tory MP for Acton from 1931 to 1943 and anti-appeaser in the 1930s; and (Grace) Marcella Duggan (1907–95).

3. Patricia Herbert (1904–94), by courtesy Lady Patricia Herbert from 1913, daughter of the 15th Earl of Pembroke and 12th Earl of Montgomery, married in 1928 William Henry Smith, 3rd Viscount Hambleden (1903–48). She was a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth from 1937 until 1994.

4. Lady Mary Sibell Ashley-Cooper (1902–36), daughter of the 9th Earl of Shaftesbury, married in 1928 Napier George Henry Sturt (1896–1940), who in 1919 succeeded his father as 3rd Baron Alington of Crichel. He died on active service in Egypt during the Second World War, though of drink rather than in action.

5. Gladys Robinson-Duff (1892–1928), daughter of General William C. Heppenheimer of the United States, married in 1921 Robert Gilbert Vansittart (1881–1957), who would be Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office from 1930 to 1938, and who would be raised to the peerage in 1941 as 1st Baron Vansittart. Vansittart was also an accomplished novelist, playwright and poet.

6. Prince Paul of Yugoslavia (1893–1976) had known Channon at Oxford and would remain one of his closest friends, and be Prince Regent of Yugoslavia (the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) from 1934 to 1941 during the minority of Peter II. He was the nephew of King Peter I and married Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark (1903–97), sister-in-law of Channon’s other closest friend, the Duke of Kent. After treating with the Germans in 1941 Paul was forced from Yugoslavia and forbidden ever to return; the post-war communist regime stripped him of his property and proclaimed him an enemy of the state. Until 1945 the British authorities held him in Kenya under house arrest. Serbia rehabilitated him posthumously in 2011, after which he was reburied with Princess Olga and their son Nicholas.

7. A psychotherapy-based cure featuring auto-suggestion, fashionable but heavily criticised at the time, developed by Émile Coué de la Châtaigneraie (1857–1926), a French psychologist.

8. A. J. Balfour, raised to an earldom in 1922.

9. World-weariness.

10. Curzon was desperate for a male heir (he had three daughters from his first marriage) to the earldom and marquessate he had obtained; various medical procedures had been followed to help Lady Curzon conceive, but no child resulted and the marriage was strained accordingly.

11. Maud Alice Burke (1872–1948), born in San Francisco, married in 1895 Sir Bache Cunard, 3rd Bt (1851–1925), grandson of the shipping line’s founder. They had lived largely apart since 1911, Cunard basing himself in Leicestershire where he enjoyed field sports. In London with their daughter Nancy Clara (1896–1965), Lady Cunard – who after her husband’s death became known as ‘Emerald’ – established one of the leading salons of the era, which thrived until the Second World War. After separating from her husband she became the mistress of Sir Thomas Beecham, the conductor, and funded many of his musical projects.

12. Prince Sergei (‘Serge’) Platonovich Obolensky Neledinsky-Meletsky (1890–1978) had been educated at Oxford and became part of the Russian diaspora after the revolution. He emigrated to America and became a successful businessman.

13. The first time in the diaries that he refers to his nickname.

14. Madeleine Vionnet (1876–1975) was one of Paris’s leading fashion designers of the interwar years.

15. Ava Alice Muriel Astor (1902–56), daughter of John Jacob Astor IV. She and Obolensky married in 1924 and divorced in 1932. She would marry four times before her death at the age of 54.

PAULUS POTTER

On this day of 20th November, Paulus Potter (20 November 1625 – 17 January 1654) was born/baptized in Enkhuizen, Netherland.

Young Paulus studied painting with his father, Pieter Symonsz Potter. For some time his father was a manufacturer of gilded leather hangings outside the city walls.

Paulus specialized in painting animals within landscapes, usually with a low vantage point.

Before Potter died of tuberculosis, at the age of 28, he succeeded in producing about 100 paintings, working continuously.

Potter became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in Delft, later, Paulus moved to The Hague, next to Jan van Goyen. Potter married Adriana van Balckeneynde. His father-in-law was a leading building contractor in The Hague and introduced him to the Dutch elite Amalia of Solms-Braunfels, a member of the stadholder's family and an art-lover, bought a painting from him. In May 1652, he returned to Amsterdam on the invitation of Nicolaes Tulp, who owned a number of his paintings. Tulp was impressed by his civilized behavior and politeness and had Potter paint his son Dirck Tulp as a noble equestrian. Potter already made a will in January 1653 and died a year later of tuberculosis, two months after his 28th birthday.

Paulus painted a self-portrait which was at Hackwood Park, Hampshire. It is now at Elibank House, Buckinghamshire.

A statue of Potter (sketching a distant statue of a goat) was erected at the Drommedaris in Enkhuizen in his memory.

His most famous painting is The Young Bull, which is now in Mauritshuis in The Hague. Though this painting was criticised, it was greatly admired during the 19th century as an early example of Romanticism.

Admiral Harry Paulet (1719/20–1794), Sixth Duke of Bolton (via The Met)

Harry Paulet, the second son of the fourth Duke of Bolton, joined the navy and in 1740 was promoted to the rank of captain. He was unflatteringly depicted as Captain Whiffle in Tobias Smollett’s novel of 1748, The Adventures of Roderick Random, and thirty years later Horace Walpole called him “a silly, brutal, proud man” (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage of England … , 2nd ed., ed. Vicary Gibbs, London, 1912, vol. 2, p. 215 n. b). Paulet nevertheless advanced, attaining the rank of rear admiral of the White Squadron in 1756, and vice admiral of the White in 1775. Paulet’s first wife died in 1764, and a year later he married Katharine, younger sister of the first Earl of Lonsdale; there were no sons of either marriage. After his older brother’s death in 1765, the admiral succeeded as sixth Duke of Bolton. He died at Hackwood Park in 1794. Paulet’s eldest daughter married the fifth Earl of Sandwich and was the mother of the Viscountess Templetown mentioned in the inscription on the back of the canvas.

Fairyland (foaled 14 January 2016) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. She was one of the best two-year-old fillies in Europe in 2018 when her wins included the Marble Hill Stakes, Lowther Stakes and Cheveley Park Stakes. In the following year she won the Flying Five Stakes and ran well in several major sprint races.

Princess Butterfly is attracting rainforest critters, Birthday WRCs, and reg. Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!! In Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series, the Fairy Queen is an essential part of the plot making key characters extremely powerful. The character Erza Scarlet from Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail rightfully earned the alias 'Titania' due to her overwhelming power being well known throughout the series' fictional land of Fiore.

Background(edit)

Fairyland is a bay filly with a white star bred in Ireland by the Tally-Ho Stud. In October 2017 the yearling filly was offered for sale at Tattersalls and was bought for 925,000 guineas by Michael Magnier(2) of behalf of his father, John Magnier's Coolmore Stud organisation. The filly was sent into training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. Like many Coolmore horses, the official details of her ownership changed from race to race: he has sometimes been listed as being the property of Evie Stockwell (John Magnier's mother), while on other occasions she was described as being owned by a partnership comprising Stockwell, Derrick Smith and Michael Tabor.

She was sired by Kodiac, a sprinter who won four minor races from twenty starts and finished second in the Hackwood Stakes and fourth in the Prix Maurice de Gheest.(3) His other foals have included Tiggy Wiggy, Best Solution (Grosser Preis von Baden) Gifted Master (Stewards' Cup) and Kodi Bear (Celebration Mile).(4) Fairyland's dam Queenofthefairies, a half-sister to Dream Ahead, did not race, but produced at least two other winners including Now Or Never (Derrinstown Stud 1,000 Guineas Trial). She is a distant female-line descendant of Cantrip, a full sister to the Epsom Derby winner Aboyeur.(5)

Racing career(edit)

2018: two-year-old season(edit)

Fairyland was ridden by Ryan Moore when she made her racecourse debut in a six furlongmaiden race at Naas Racecourse on 7 May and started at odds of 3/1 in a ten-runner field. She raced close to the leaders from the start, took the advantage a furlong from the finish and won 'comfortably' by one and three quarter lengths.(6) Nineteen days later the filly was stepped up in class and matched against male opposition in the Listed Marble Hill Stakes over the same distance at the Curragh in which she was partnered by Seamie Heffernan. After tracking the front-runners she took the lead in the last quarter mile and drew away to win by two and a half lengths and a neck from her stablemates Van Beethoven and Land Force.(7) The second and third placed horses went on to win the Railway Stakes and the Richmond Stakes respectively. Heffernan was again in the saddle when the filly was sent to England to contest the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and started the 5/2 second favourite against seventeen opponents. Racing on the far side of the straight course (the right-hand side from the jockeys' view) she finished a close third behind Main Edition and La Pelosa, both of whom raced on the opposite side of the track. In the aftermath of the race she was reported to be 'under the weather' as many of the Ballydoyle horses were affected by a viral infection.(8)

After a break of two months, Fairyland returned for the Lowther Stakes at York Racecourse and started 6/4 favourite ahead of the Princess Margaret Stakes winner Angel's Hideaway. Ridden by Moore she led for most of the way and after being headed by The Mackem Bullet inside the furlong she rallied in the final strides to regain the advantage and win by a nose.(9) After the race O'Brien said 'I'm delighted with her. She did get headed so it was great to see her battle back... She's a lovely filly and (the Cheveley Park Stakes) is the way we'll be heading... she's a big, rangy filly – she looks more like a three-year-old than a two-year-old'.(8)

On 29 September Fairyland, ridden by Donnacha O'Brien, started at odds of 6/1 for the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse. Her ten opponents included Pretty Pollyanna (winner of the Prix Morny), So Perfect (Grangecon Stud Stakes), Lady Kaya (second in the Moyglare Stud Stakes), Signora Cabello (Queen Mary Stakes, Prix Robert Papin), Queen of Bermuda (Firth of Clyde Stakes), Angel's Hideaway and The Mackem Bullet. After tracking the leaders she took the lead just inside the final furlong and kept on strongly to win by a neck from The Mackem Bullet with So Perfect half a length away in third place.(10) Aidan O'Brien commented 'We thought she would come forward from York and she did. She's a lovely, big filly and has loads of speed. Donnacha gave her a peach of a ride. We always thought she would maybe get a mile but she's not short of speed and has a lovely mind. We probably wouldn't run her again this season'.(11)

2019: three-year-old season(edit)

On her three-year-old debut Fairyland was ridden by Frankie Dettori when she was one of fifteen fillies to contest the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on 5 May. Starting the 15/2 fifth choice in the betting she raced in mid-division before keeping well under pressure to finish fifth behind Hermosa, Lady Kaya, Qabala and Angel's Hideaway. In the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh she never looked likely to win and came home sixth behind Hermosa, beaten more than eight lengths by the winner. Fairyland was dropped back to sprint distances for the King's Stand Stakes over five furlongs at Royal Ascot and finished fifth behind Blue Point, Battaash, Soldier's Call and Mabs Cross. On her next race she contested the six-furlong July Cup at Newmarket in which she ran third to the colts Ten Sovereigns and Advertise.(12)

In the Nunthorpe Stakes at York of 23 August Fairyland failed to recover from a poor start and trailed home tenth of the eleven runners in a race won by Battaash. The filly maintained her busy schedule in the Haydock Sprint Cup on 7 September when she ran sixth to Hello Youmzain beaten just over three lengths by the winner. Eight days after her defeat at Haydock Fairyland was partnered by Ryan Moore when she started at odds for 12/1 for the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. Soffia (Sapphire Stakes) started favourite while the other seven runners included Mabs Cross, Soldier's Call, Houtzen (P J Bell Stakes), Invincible Army (Duke of York Stakes) and So Perfect (Lacken Stakes). After settling just behind the leaders Fairyland overtook the front-running outsider Caspian Prince approaching the final furlong and kept on well to hold off the late challenge of her stablemate So Perfect to win by a short head.(13) O'Brien commented 'Her best run of the year was back at five at Ascot in the King's Stand. The ground was too soft for her at Haydock and she got upset in the stalls and banged her head before that at York. You would have to be delighted.'(14)

Fairyland ran in France for the first time on 6 October when she contested the Prix de l'Abbaye over 1000 metres on very soft ground at Longchamp Racecourse but never looked likely to win and came home tenth behind Glass Slippers.

Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 18th to 23rd June 1923

— Monday 18th June to Saturday 23rd June Hackwood A jolly Ascot party, only a little too grand even for Chips. Paul of S, Serge Obolensky and I were together in a sort of suite at the end of the house. We had greatest chap fun together. The ladies of the party in addition to our shining hostess ... Lady Ancaster, very sirenic and mischevious and good company and I fear very open about her liaison with Lord Londonderry¹ who is also here, Mrs Walter Burns,² a boring little marquise de Polignac.³ She is the most disgusting snob and was so ecstatic at lunching with the King the first day that I fear she will never recover. Her little fat military husband Melchior de P⁴ is very much in love with her .... Dinner is never until 9.30 and then we get little messages that Lord Curzon has been detained by work ... a treaty or two I suppose⁵ ... and that we are not to dine until ten, which is really too un-English. We motor in state in five Rolls-Royces to the racecourse every day. Our host goes up to London to the Foreign Office. In the evenings there is poker and bridge ... On Saturday morning, as I was leaving, I received a message to come to Lord Curzon’s bedroom and I found this potentate in a blue dressing gown. Lady Curzon was talking to him and they told me I must stay for the weekend as every ambassador in the world was coming ... but it wasn’t that, but the arrival of the two Italian princesses (the daughters of the King) who had just announced their arrival. I longed to remain and help but I didn’t dare to chuck Lady Lowther⁶ to whom I am promised since a month for the weekend. I left sadly rather our of favour, I fear, because of my refusal. — 1. Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart (1878-1949), 7th Marquess of Londonderry. He was appointed a Knight of the Garter in 1919 and served as Secretary of State for Air from 1931 to 1935. He went out of favour because of his close links with, and apparent regard for, the Nazis in Germany. 2. Ruth Evelyn Cavendish-Bentinck (1883-1978), great-great-granddaughter of the 3rd Duke of Portland, married in 1907 Walter Spencer Morgan Burns (1872-1929); she had been a leading society hostess in London since before the war. 3. Nina Floyd Crosby (1881-1966) of New York, married in 1917 the marquis de Polignac (vide infra). 4. Marie Charles Jean Melchior, marquis de Polignac (1880-1950), ran the Pommery champagne company (an inheritance from his mother, Louise Pommery) and was a member of the International Olympic Committee. 5. Curzon was at the time Foreign Secretary. 6. Alice Blight (1873-1939), married in 1905 Sir Gerard Augustus Lowther Bt (1858-1916), Ambassador to Constantinople from 1908 to 1913.

Such things must seem excessively bright after half a year in the black, grey, and brown gowns of mourning. But even the shine of a new wardrobe and the season to come cannot entirely wipe away the loss of a father. Perhaps it is that exact contrast which has poised little Margaret Paulet on the precipice of glory.

By all account, the Marquess of Devonshire was a dutiful father, if not particularly exuberant. His youngest, Lady Maragaret (nicknamed Meg by the same father so recently lost) remembers him to be doting and sweet though the baby of such a family may not be the most reliable accountant. Her childhood was mostly idyllic, marred only by a toddling tumble into the round pond behind Hackwood Park when she was but five and the much more recent loss of her father half a year ago. She had four elder brother and an elder sister to entertain here, after all, and friends about the ton every season. There was little to dislike when one could play music and ride horses to their heart’s content. In some ways she resented growing older, having to be an entirely proper lady instead of chasing around after her brothers. But a lady she became and one the ton seems all to happy to whisper about.

Some eight months past the family patriarch passed, with their eldest brother now having to step into the role and find his sisters a match. No doubt he worries for the youngest, chaperoned by her governess most days while their mother remains in mourning for several months yet. It is a difficult job, and Meg’s dreamy nature hasn’t made it any easier. It’s been all too easy to imagine her wandering off into the gardens at night with someone entirely unsuitable and so her brothers keep a careful watch. Rumors of the ton have it that they may need to be most vigilant with one of the season’s royals, but that remains to be seen.

HEADCANONS

• Meg is in the running for being the Diamond this season and though she tries to appear humble about it, it 100% will go to her head. She has an idealized view of the title and expects that it will mean she is able to meet “the one” and fall head over heels for them.

• She reads rather more than she “should” based on society’s standards and is never unhappy when gifted a book. She plans to marry into a household with a large library.

• Other than music, the thing Meg most loves in horses and she has quite an eyes for them. She’s been almost perfectly consistent in being able to guess which of the family’s stock will do best as riding, racing, and so on. You can always find her wither in the library or the stables when she’s upset.

CONNECTIONS

connection 1: An older mentor, perhaps a dowager or a spinster, who can tell that Meg might be in for more than she bargained for and has no idea and wants to teach her how to navigate the social circle. connection 2: The out of her league one with whom Meg has/will strike up a flirtation this season. Royalty of some sort, he would be “marrying down” but doesn’t seem to care. Whether they are falling for each other or it’s an arrangement of convenience for the pair of them can se decided between the players!

NAME: Aiden AGE: 16 NATIONALITY: English SIBLINGS: Alexys, Amberly, Ansley, Asher, Audric YEAR: Third PARÁDOSIS: Eleos SPECIALTY: None Yet ATHLETICS: Football

"...When to the heart of man was it ever less than a treason to go with the drift of things, to yield with a grace to reason... Bow and accept the end of a love or a season?

HISTORY:

Aiden grew up in a large family among many brothers and sisters. But he wasn’t part of just any typical family, no, he was one of the youngest in the (once thought died off) royal House of Wessex. Dating back as far as the 1200s, his family was said to be direct descendants of Ares, the God of War who displayed special powers of strength and physicality. Every single individual from his line, all of his brothers and sisters, parents, and ancestors, belonged to the Parádosis Ares. Well, everyone but Aiden.

When it came to hobbies and interests, Aiden was one of the few Football players of his family. Because all of his siblings were competitive, it was common to be surrounded by sports as he grew up at Hackwood Park in Hampshire, South England. Even from a young age, when he barely knew how to walk, he had a ball at his feet as much as humanly possible. Aiden was a part of youth football clubs as soon as he was old enough, and when he got into Blayse Academy, that passion never stopped.

The Primary Years at Blayse were incredibly difficult for him, he knew he wasn’t the smartest of his siblings (except when it came to mathematics), but he was an incredibly hard worker. And that was the key to his success during the Primary Years, allowing him to pass his exams and continue on to Secondary.

Aiden knew he wasn’t exactly like the rest of his siblings, his calm and compassionate personality almost seemed like a weakness in the eyes of his parents. So as much as it wasn’t a surprise that he hadn’t fit into Parádosis Ares, nothing had made his parents and oldest siblings more disappointed than learning that he was a part of

Parádosis Eleos. They saw it as an exact representation of his fragility, as they viewed Eleos to be the weakest of the houses.

But then he had met Evelyn in his first year of Secondary, and together they had been each other’s rock. Each other’s protector. Each other’s constant.

And he had fallen so quickly, and so madly in love.
