This is, as it seems, the beginning of a beautiful and strong mutual love not many details of which are known. As far as the personality of marchioness Cordelia Mary de Lambert born Consett is concerned, somewhere briefly described as a refined woman, a beautiful fashionable presence, we only have the testimony of óne lady connected with Cordelia: “she was an unforgettable girl-friend for me”.
A single girl is born from this alliance. After ten years of marriage on November 10 1903 in Paris 16th Marie Marguerite Cordelia Juliette Philomène de Lambert comes into the world. Daysie – this name is soon given – is a very nice blond and very intelligent girl. She often stays with her aunt and uncle count Louis de Boisgelin on Château du Houssay (north of Provins, Seine et Marne) which the count had restaurated after the war of 1870. In 1940 she is corpulent, mentally ill and has gone through stays in a psychiatric home. She died single in a clinic in Saint-Sylvain d’Anjou , France on November 21 1953 03:00. With her a family extinguished.
