Benjamin Robert Haydon, in his Autobiography, mentions 'Liz', 'An attractive girl on the second floor of a house full of young men ... [who] attached herself to the party, made tea for them, marketed with them, carved for them, went to the lay with them, read Shakespeare with them,' going on to remark, 'Her position was anomalous, but I firmly believe it was innocent ... She was a girl with a man's mind ... as interesting a girl as you would wish to see'.
