M. Andre Maurois, the famous author of "Ariel" and "Disraeli," etc., and one of the most individual biographers of today, has chosen a particularly lively figure for his brief sketch-portrait. Lady Caroline Lamb, in her time a notorious figure in social circles, and a woman of considerable eccentricity, is chiefly remembered by us for her association with Byron. She called him a 'mad, bad man, dangerous to know'; she caricatured him in her novel, "Glenarvon"; and, finally, in a passion of rage against something he had said of her, burnt in a "sort of funeral pile manuscripts of all the letters she had received from him, and his miniature several girls from the neighbourhood, whom she had dressed in white garments, dancing about the pile'. She was a clever woman, whatever her vagaries, vain and impulsive, and one well worth the skill in portraiture that M. Maurois will most certainly bestow upon her.
