====== The Honourable Clare Thimblebelly of Lower Cannonboroughbury ======
The Honourable Clare Thimblebelly was the thirteenth daughter of Baron
Thimblebelly of Lower Cannonboroughbury, a somewhat diminished barony
located somewhere between Cumbria and Kent. Shortly after her birth her
mother, Lady Thimblebelly, fled to a sanitorium. Tragedy struck again early
in her childhood when, after a particularly enthusiastic game of Hide and
Seek, the Baron and five sisters were never recovered. As a young woman she
was encouraged to leave Lower Cannonboroughbury, indeed the entire
Cannonboroughbury area, by allegations of witchcraft, begun due to an
unfortunate misunderstanding of a herbal nature.

Travelling throughout Europe, she found herself in Spain where she was
briefly imprisoned by the Inquisition for being a psychic, which was
certainly something she hadn't expected. Recently she has returned to
England and become well known in some circles as a herbalist and dabbler in
the occult. Her Preparation Number 3, an aphrodisiac and floor polish, has
become especially popular.

In addition to composing and performing music for the harpsichord,
harmonica and bugle, she was instrumental in the early days of the Campaign
Against Hoop Petticoats. She has never married, surprising given the
undoubtedly large number of potential suitors that must surely have been
thronging about her, at least during her younger days.
