Sy Scholfield quotes "In Search of Song: The Life and Times of Lucy Broadwood" by Dorothy De Val (Ashgate, 2011), pp. 14-15: "In July, late in Juliana's pregnancy, the family went on extensive travels in the Highlands, though Kathy and Miss Ainger returned to help Juliana on 8 August, just in time for the birth of 'little Lucy' the following day at 2 pm. Her birth was recorded by Bertha, but not by Juliana in her day book."
