An Empire on the Edge Quotes

“Dartmouth’s father died in 1732, leaving a widow, Elizabeth Legge, Lady Lewisham. Then Lord North’s father, Lord Guilford, became a widower when his first wife (North’s mother) died in 1734. Two years after that, Guilford became Lord Dartmouth’s stepfather, when he married Lady Lewisham. The marriage ended with her death in 1745.”
