Lydia

Petersen is also survived by his younger sister Lydia, 18, with whom he was very close, and his partner in life Chanda Creasy.

Perhaps ancient kings of Lydia were once burned alive on pyres, 'as living embodiments of their god.'

Lydia, relieved of a disagreeable suspicion that her usually faultless footman must be drunk, thanked him and went up-stairs.

Lydia replied that if Miss Gisborne would come and look at it, she should be very welcome.

Lydia was lying back in the carriage, swaying with its motion, and jubilant to her finger-tips.

At that moment Lydia appeared at the door leading from the kitchen.
