<DIV>Ref. to Lord Edward Cecil, L1 189. For anything to do with the
aristocracy & VW, it’s worth starting with a rarely referenced, but
excellent book, RUDIKOFF, Sonya, "Ancestral Houses: Virginia Woolf and the

<DIV>Making the grenadier connection is even more persuasive. I think we
might be able to search VW’s connections to the Cecils to find how close (as it
were) she ever got to Lord Edward. Kitty Maxse’s husband Leo was a brother of
Lady Violet, Lord Edward’s wife.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Stuart:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your illuminating (and, to me, very persuasive) information
on Lord Edward Cecil and Edward <SPAN tabIndex=-1 id=:pt.1>Pargiter</SPAN> of
<I>The Years</I>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your reference to Lord Cecil and the Grenadier Guards makes me wish to add
that I believe Woolf associated Kitty Malone in <I>The Years </I>with Sir Walter
Scott (Woolf's own diary "father"). Kitty's married name is <SPAN
tabIndex=-1 id=:pt.2>Lasswade</SPAN> (name of Scott's home) and she much prefers
the north over Oxford and London. Kitty is call "The Grenadier." In
the British Army, a grenadier was a member of the first regiment of household
infantry. Grenadiers were specially selected foot soldiers in elite units
who threw grenades. Thus Woolf links Kitty to both Scott and to female
household battle. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this adds. No doubt you can add more to this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>You will recall that that’s Eleanor’s nickname for Edward Pargiter in
“The Years” (mentioned 4 times). Apparently, that was VWS and HN’s name
for Nigel (see CUP edn 420 39:13). But why should that be a nickname for
*Edward*?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’ve found a more persuasive inspiration for the nickname. The
family called Lord Edward Cecil, Nigs, although I don’t know why.
Perhaps if I looked up a biography, I would find out. Anyway, see here
from the ODNB:</DIV>
