理查德·培根爵士
Sir Richard Bacon tells the following amusing story in "ANava1 Scrap Book"："On one occasion When my ancestor's husband was up country with his troops， dealing with someturbulent natives， a French frigate anchored off the fort．Notknowing whether the two countries were at peace or war， thelady grasped the nettle firmly， asked the captain to lunch，dressed all the women in their husbands’ uniforms， and dottedthem about on the ramparts outside the range of accurate vi sion． During lunch she made them roll casks of stones over head， and explained that the noise was made by the artillerymen exercising at gun drill."
The French captain，who had intended to attack theplace， decided that it was too strongly held and equipped，andsailed away，thinking that the adventure would be a little toorisky．
理查德·培根爵士
在“海军剪贴薄”中，理查德·培根爵士讲了下面这个有趣的故事：“有一次，我的祖先的丈夫同他的军队一起到内 地，去对付一些当地的骚乱分子，就在这个时候一艘法国快速帆船停在离城堡不远的海上。不知两国此时是战还是和，这位夫人勇敢地处理起这个棘手的问题。她请船长吃饭，让所有的妇女都穿起她们丈夫的军服，然后把她们星罗棋布地安排到远处看不清的城墙堡垒上去。在吃午饭的时候，她让她们在楼上滚动装着石头块的木桶，然后解释说这是演习开炮的炮兵们闹出的声音。
那位法国船长本来打算进攻这个地方，他断定这座城堡防守太坚固，装备过于精良，就把船开走了，心想这样的冒险未免有点太危险了。”
