The Importance of Gentleness
Caroline was pregnant with their fourth child at the time. This had not inspired any kind of gentleness and her abusive husband. Caroline became so afraid of George on this occasion that she locked herself in the drawing room only to have George smash the door down, taking the door frame with it. He attacked her in a written account. It is said that he quote, manhandled her down the stairs. The house staff had to intervene and hold George back so that Caroline could get away. She moved out of their home the same year that Lord Melbourne became Prime Minister. And George saw this as an opportunity to capitalize on her friend's new position by suing him for adultery.
