Extract from Volume 1 of Lady Margot Asquith’s autobiography:
My eldest sister Pauline, or Posie, as we called her, was born in 1855 and married on my tenth birthday one of the best of men, Thomas Gordon Duff, of Drummuir Castle, Keith. She died of tuberculosis, the cruel disease by which my family have all been pursued. We were too different in age and temperament to be really intimate, but her goodness, patience and pluck made a deep impression on me.

Extract from Volume 1 of Lady Margot Asquith’s autobiography:
My sister, Lucy, was the most talented and the best educated of the family. She fell between two stools in her youth, because Charty and Posie were of an age to be companions and Laura and I; consequently she did not enjoy the happy childhood that we did and was mishandled by the authorities both in the nursery and the schoolroom.When I was thirteen she made a foolish engagement, so that our real intimacy only began after her marriage. She was my mother’s favourite child, which none of us resented, and, although like my father in hospitality, courage and generous giving, she had my mother’s stubborn modesty and delicacy of mind. Her fear of hurting the feelings of others was so great that she did not tell people what she was thinking; she was truthful but not candid.
Her drawings, both in pastel and water-colour, her portraits, landscapes and interiors were further removed from amateur work than Laura’s piano playing or my dancing; and, had she put her wares into the market, as we all wanted her to do years ago, she would have been a rich woman, but like all saints she was uninfluenceable. I owe her too much to write about her: tormented by pain and crippled by arthritis, she has shown a heroism and gaiety which command the love and respect of all who meet her.
