The Early Years ~ Lady Lyme-Weoghe is the only daughter of celebrated acrostic poet and crony of Midlands industrialists, Barlowe Coghill Cholmondley (Lord Lyme-Weoghe) and his wife Margaret "Pippa" Puncknowles, a prominent Suffragist and Lady-Adventurer.
Early education under her parents' tutelage included the Agrippan method, horse handicapping and modern letters. After a brief stint at Miss Primrose Perchance's Academy For Promising Young Ladies, Lyme-Weoghe read Advanced Needlework, Home Economics and Numerical Analysis at Cambridge where she took top honors in examination, but was, of course, denied a degree because of her gender. It was at Cambridge that she became acquainted, but did not get along with fellow Barrister’s Keepe members Thornton-Pickle, the Brigadier, Lord Turnips and Lord Woodpecker-Smythe along with Lady Marzipan, due mainly to their support of, and indulgence in street music, particularly that of organ grinders and tub thumpers, which she despised. She assumed the title of Lady Lyme-Weoghe after the deaths of both her parents in an encounter with a brood wyvern on the peak of Snaefellsjokull where her mother sought the legendary entrance to the interior kingdoms of the earth.
Later years ~ After leaving Cambridge, encouraged by tub thumping school chum Lady Marzipan, the socially sought-after Lyme-Woeghe acquired financing from abroad to develop a Ratiocinative Engine, purported to make possible the calculations necessary to create a time travel device. Many believe she was successful but there is no proof that such an engine exists.


I must say...breathtaking.
