Charles Beresford: Cock-a-doodle-doo!"Lord Charles Beresford (who was in love with Lady Warwick at the same time as the Prince of Wales) told my grandfather," Anita Leslie once recalled, "that on one occasion [during a house party] he tiptoed into a dark room and [expecting his inamorata] jumped into the vast bed shouting 'Cock-a-doodle-doo!' - to find himself, when trembling hands had lit a paraffin lamp, between the Bishop of Chester and his wife. The situation seemed very difficult to explain and be left the house before breakfast the next morning."
