He divided his London house into two to avoid his wife. And was overwrought with grief when his wife's younger prettier sister died.

He became hypercritical towards her in front of the children, and eventually threw her out of the family home permanently, after 22 years of marriage. He then moved Catherine's young and slim teenage sister in.. to run the house, care for all the children and keep him company.<br /><br />I am sure this surly man turned out to be a miserable husband because he, Charles, had had such a horrible childhood himself. But how extraordinary that he could be generous and fun-filled towards the neighbouring children every Christmas. Your great great grand mother's festive holiday sounded terrific.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
