Sir Thomas Neave; and he put an end to my returning to Turkey. We settled down at his lovely home, Dagnam Park in Essex, where I learnt to love every brick of the dear old Georgian family mansion, with its beautiful Charles II walled gardens, and great cedar and elm trees, and one magnificent monarch among trees with such a spread of its immense branches that it required twenty-six supports to hold them up. It was a "cork ilex' and of its kind, the Kew Gardens' tree expert told us, there were only two others in Great Britain of its date, height and circumference; it was the pride of our lawn. After the birth of two daughters and two sons we spent the shooting season every year at Llysdulas in the Isle of Anglesey, which on her death in 1915 my mother-in-law left to my husband, and there, up to the time of the Second World War, we annually spent the autumn months. Much as we wished to visit Constantinople together we never found an opportunity of doing so, as in April, 1909, when we had intended to go to Turkey, a bloodless revolution took place there." and "Not withstanding the sorrows and losses, trials and anxieties endured during the [Second World] War, I have much to be thankful for. Though Clifton Yali, my home on the Bosphorus, has been burnt down by the Germans, and Dagnam Park, our home in Essex, has been taken from us by the Labour Government and bought over our heads, we still have Llysdulas, the old home in Anglesey, and I have had the joy of welcoming my two sons, Major Sir Arundell Neave and Captain Kenelm Neave and two sons-in-law, Brigadier F. G. A. Parsons, O.B.E., husband of my elder daughter, Dorina Eileen and Major Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley, husband of my second daughter, Renee who all returned safely after serving abroad. Though Kenelm the youngest of the four, was wounded in France and missing until rescued by the Welsh Guards. A happy event took place when Arundell married my god-daughter, Richenda, the only child of my life-long friend, Eveline Whitaker, who married Sir Robert Paul who had been a prisoner-of-war in Turkey."

  "Dorina Lockhart, as a girl was a great beauty and was known as the Queen of the Bosphorous...Dorina wrote a book entitled, 'Twenty-six Years on the Bosphorous' (1933) but her sister Ellen C. Zoe said that she talked alot of rubbish about her having been called 'Queen of the Bosphorous' " (Lloyds of Harley Street SoG FH/LLO Volume 1 Page 80a). One of her daughters married a Bulkeley, Squire of Beaumon in Anglesey (Lloyds of Harley Street SoG FH/LLO Volume 3 Page 69) [1]
