Of the chariot itself little remained, but among the bronze ornaments from its vanished sides lay the delicate skeleton of a young woman. She must have been (or been loved by) a person of high position, for on her head was a golden diadem weighing more than a pound, with beautifully modeled winged horses and lions' paws.

In Lon don, she got a job in the chorus of one of Andre Chariot's revues, understudied Bea trice Lillie, and married a director named Francis Gordon-Howley. During World War I, Gertrude, though both ill and pregnant, took over in Bea's place and stopped the show.
