Delaford in Dorset

Colonel Brandon lives in Delaford in Dorset.
"It amused her to observe that all her friends seemed determined to send her to Delaford; -- a place, in which, of all others, she would now least chuse to visit, or wish to reside; for not only was it considered as her future home by her brother and Mrs. Jennings, but even Lucy, when they parted, gave her a pressing invitation to visit there" (311).

Something I found interesting during our study of Pamela Colman-Smith's Annancy Stories this week was learning that Smith was also active in the Celtic revival movement through the illustration of Celtic folklore. Through my own research of Smith for my capstone project, I've learned how interested she was in folklore of a wide array of different cultures, but I didn't realize the extent to which she was active in reproducing them beyond Annancy Stories.
