Pilgrim in Palestine
‘AFTER some time in Egypt, Lady Hester went on to the Holy Land. Years before, in London, a fortune-teller had assured her that she was destined to make a pilgrimage to Palestine, to ride into Jerusalem, to spend seven years in the desert and finally to be crowned Queen of the Jews
and rule the destinies of the Chosen People. So here she was setting about making the first part of this prophecy come true -for she believed in it implicitly, and to the end of her life kept
in her stables two Arab mares, on which, she believed, she and a new Messiah would ride into Jerusalem. Well, on this occasion she duly rode into Jerusalem, but no one took any special notice of her, so she was forced to conclude that the time was not tipe’ for the fulfilment of the prophecy. So she made her way north, and stayed at various places in Syria- Sidon and Damascus particularly -(" Some Adventurous Women: Lady Hester Stanhope." Margaret Johnston, 2YA, May 2.)
