for many jazz parties in the 1930s exclusively for the rich, and is allegedly where Caldwell met Vernon Motion. Motion was a dashing young pianist who shared a passion for flying and lavish living; both believed the other to be substantially wealthy. Caldwell, who was pregnant but not by Motion, married Motion a few days after meeting him at the end of 1937, and divorced him two weeks later when they discovered the truth about each other's circumstances. Lady Delves Broughton Caldwell became a house guest at Tingewick Hall under the care of her friend and confidante Betty Loftus (née Winterbottom). A few weeks later, Loftus arranged a series of “chance meetings” with Broughton at her brother's house in Cheshire, and at Cosgrove Hall. Broughton was thirty years older than Caldwell but on the 24th of March 1938 her father, who had taken to drinking excessively, died. The following year, Broughton began divorce proceedings with his first wife and in 1940, following the marriage dissolution, he left England to marry Caldwell and move to a property he had purchased in Kenya. On a romantic ship-board passage to Africa, Caldwell had managed to secure a pre-nuptial agreement that guaranteed her an estimated annual income of £5000. They were married as soon as the couple docked at Durban on November 5, 1940. The newlyweds travelled to Nairobi, where Caldwell almost immediately started a public affair with the Earl of Erroll who was at the centre of the Happy Valley set. Broughton appeared to consent to the affair but privately admitted to misgivings about their frequent outings together. Errol was murdered 3 months later, which created one of the greatest murder mysteries of the 20th century. Broughton was arrested for his murder but was acquitted shortly after for lack of evidence. Caldwell supported her husband's story but he returned to England in December 1942 and was found dying from a morphine overdose in a Liverpool hotel a few days after his arrival. Mrs Gilbert Colville A month after Broughton died, Caldwell married Gilbert Colville, the richest landowner in Kenya. They had 12 years of relative happiness together, adopting a daughter when their own son died after a few days. Caldwell fell in love with Tom Delamere, however, resulting in their divorce in 1954. Colville remained on good terms with Caldwell thereafter and left her his considerable properties in Kenya when he died in
