Thanks particularly for the link to the article about Katherine Parr's daughter. I've always been intrigued by the mystery of Mary Seymour. It sounds like the poor girl may simply have died of neglect.
I saw a Eloisa James twitter and was able to go to a website for an unbrella museum in Paris that was amazing. Can't find the url now. Have you seen it?
It's been pointed out to me that the link for the Vanderbilt house is missing. Mea culpa! Here 'tis:

Undine, I've wondered about poor little Mary, too. Sadly it seems to be one mystery that ends unhappily.
Louise, haven't seen that. Will have to hunt for it, tho...
