Where do you live?
Abel Yard, off Adam’s Mews, Mayfair, London. First door on the right after the carriage repairer’s works.
Marital status?
Single. But not for want of trying by my match-making friends.
Describe your appearance.
I am five foot six in height and weigh eight and a half stone. My hair is dark brown, inclined to be crinkly and hard to keep pinned up under a bonnet. Eyes hazel.
Best feature?
Oh dear. I suppose I quite like my feet. They’re long, but quite slim with high arches. What a pity there are not many chances to go barefoot in company.
And worst?
I love the sun, but if I’m not careful – and often I’m not – my face and hands turn brown as a haymaker’s.
Favourite colour?
Blue, green or any of the shades in between. Sea colours.
Favourite food?
Those spicy little strawberries that grow on south facing slopes in the Alps. That’s in my dreams. In London, roasted chestnuts on a winter day.
When and where do you feel happiest?
Riding my beautiful bay mare Esperance (Rancie), racing my good friend Amos Legge.
What makes you angry?
People who try to bully me. Cruelty to animals.
What would improve your life?
The gift of patience. And I should love to see my brother again, but India is so far away.
How do you see your future?
Eventful.
