Me
I have changed my name to 'Poet Laureate of Hope End.' When I was growing up, we lived in a house called Hope End. When I was only six I wrote such a wonderful poem that my father tenderly named me the 'Poet Laureate of Hope End' :)
From my biography:
"George Hunter was greatly attracted to Elizabeth. She was stimulating, widely read and well informed, with wit and charm. He was in full agreement with Miss Mitford that she was 'one of the most interesting persons I had ever seen...a slight delicate figure and shower of dark curls falling over either side of a most expressive face, large tender eyes, richly fringed by dark eyelashes, a smile like a sunbeam and such a look of youthfulness...' And in those days she was 'alive to the vanities of costume' and liked to dress in 'very simple but graceful and costly dresses, her favourite colour being green.' No wonder, when such a woman 'bent those big dark eyes' at him and interested herself in his life, that he fell deeply in love."
