Her interest in the country began when her brother, Sir Oliver Wardrop, traveled there and learned the language before studying at Oxford and embarking on a diplomatic career. As a Victorian woman, Marjory was unable to do likewise and lamented this, in this letter of 1894 to her brother: ‘I have got to stay at home just doing nothing when I ought to be living, learning and working’. Despite the restrictions, she taught herself Georgian, and eventually traveled there, in 1894-1896.
