Description:Beatrice Holme Sumner, known as Beatie, was one of the beauties of Victorian England. Aristocratic and spirited, she thrilled the crowds when she rode with the hunt clubs of Gloucestershire.Aged fourteen she was being pursued by one of the country’s most eminent men and the ensuing scandal shocked society. The extraordinary events of her life began when, still short of her fifteenth birthday, she caught the eye of Charles Hoare — a married man twice her age. Her anxious parents watched as she revelled in Hoare’s attentions and tried desperately to put a stop to the affair. It was all in vain.As soon as she was twenty-one Beatie ran away with Hoare, giving birth to their first child nine months later. By then the affair had become a legal issue, and the ‘Gloucestershire Scandal’ echoed on for months in national papers and scandal magazines. Narrowly escaping a prison sentence, Hoare’s philanthropic gesture of buying a sailing ship and setting it up as the Training Ship Mercury, a pre-sea school for boys, was seen as an empty one. Yet his new school was to become his refuge, the basis of an astonishing career for his mistress, and the source of her transformation into a grim intense woman who ruled the Mercury with a rod of iron.Ronald Morris, one of Beatie’s last pupils before her death in 1946, tells the extraordinary story of this formidable yet tragic woman, of the terror she inspired and the scandal she provoked.Ronald Morris (b.1930) left the Mercury in 1947 for a career in the Merchant Navy. Upon leaving the Merchant Navy Morris worked in agriculture before qualifying as a schoolteacher.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
