<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Stuart for the mention of the Rudikoff book as I was involved with its publication. It was published by SPOSS, the Society for the Promotion of Science and Scholarship and copies should still be available on Amazon at very low prices.
SPOSS also published my <i>William Morris to Sergeant Pepper </i>which contains a section on Bloomsbury.</p>

<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> </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>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>
