Jessie Bell, subsequently Jessie Mansergh, was an English writer born in Liverpool who used the marital name Mrs George de Horne Vaizey. De Horne Vaizey was the daughter of David Bell, a Scottish insurance salesman, and his wife, Elizabeth Morris Barton. She had six siblings: four brothers and two sisters. She married Henry Mansergh, a cotton dealer, in 1883. They had a daughter named Gwyneth Alice in 1886. She met her second husband, George de Horne Vaizey, on a Mediterranean vacation after winning a short story competition. Her son, George, named after his father, has also become a writer. As her biography at Athelstane writings states, "She frequently exploited her own various experiences in her writings. In her works, she drew on her childhood in a large family, her first husband's addiction and death, and her own diseases. De Horne Vaizey's daughter Gwyneth, nicknamed Kit, inspired the character Kitty in her 1902 novel "A Houseful of Girls". According to the author, Gwyneth shared lessons with a family of five sisters who were "in many ways like the book Rendells." Chrystabel is as similar as I could create her, and they all speak in that odd way, stressing every second or third syllable.
