Died. Frances, Countess Lloyd George, 84, widow of Britain's World War I Prime Minister; in Churt, England. Slim, attractive Frances Stevenson attended the Versailles peace conference as David Lloyd George's secretary. She was also his mistress, as her memoirs revealed, and continued her double role for 30 years until they were married in 1943 (his first wife died in 1941). As his confidante, she exerted considerable influence on the Liberal Party...

"The best-dressed flic in France," as his colleagues called him, Tonnot made no secret of his own close connections with the underworld. His mistress ran a dubious nightclub, and Tonnot allowed no interference from fellow cops on his beat. Last week Tonnot himself was under arrest in a widening scandal that has so far brought convictions for four madams, five pimps and six bordello operators-three of them Lyon cops...
Your statement about the side-by-side burial of the general and his mistress raises an interesting point. The fact is that some slaves wanted to be buried close to their white families, and in many instances it was done.

All of this came about because masters and slaves sometimes developed a deep sense of affection and loyalty not depending necessarily upon an adulterous relationship...
