Billowing cloth runs from her arms to her back, resembling wings. History ''The Whisper'', precursor to the ''Spirit of Ecstasy'' The first Rolls-Royce motorcars did not feature radiator mascots; they simply carried the Rolls-Royce emblem.

At 22, she was the secretary of John Edward Scott-Montagu, who became the second Baron Montagu of Beaulieu in 1905. She became his mistress and they had an illegitimate daughter, Joan Eleanor Thornton, whom she gave up for adoption.
