in 1782, while on a retreat from london with the duke, the duchess met lady elizabeth foster (widely known as "bess") in the city of bath. she became close friends with lady elizabeth who had become destitute after separating from her husband and three sons. given the bond that developed between the two women (and the difficult position her new friend was in), with the duke's acquiescence, the duchess agreed to having lady elizabeth live with them. when the duke began a sexual relationship with lady elizabeth, a ménage à trois (love triangle) was established and it was arranged that lady elizabeth live with them permanently. while it was common for male members of the upper class to have mistresses, it was not common or generally acceptable for a mistress to live so openly with a married couple. furthermore, the duchess had become emotionally dependent on lady elizabeth whom she believed to be her best friend. having no alternative, she became complacent over the matter. the arrangement among the three is more commonly referred to as a "ménage à trois", but, while the relationship between the duke and lady elizabeth was obviously sexual, there is no concrete evidence of anything beyond emotional dependence, and a particular and open affection, on the part of the duchess, towards lady elizabeth. in one of her letters, the duchess of devonshire wrote to lady elizabeth, "my dear bess, do you hear the voice of my heart crying to you? do you feel what it is for me to be separated from you?" nevertheless, lady elizabeth foster herself was said to actually envy her and wished for her position. (evidence lady elizabeth shared a love for her either way was proven at her death years later when a locket, containing a strand of the duchess' hair, was found around her neck, as well as a bracelet also containing hair of the duchess on a table beside her deathbed). lady elizabeth was reported to have insinuated her way into the marriage by taking advantage of the duchess's friendship and love and having "engineered her way" into a sexual relationship with the duke. lady elizabeth engaged in well documented sexual relations with other men while she was in the "love triangle" with the duke and duchess. among their contemporaries, the relationship between the duchess of devonshire and lady elizabeth foster was the subject of speculation which has continued beyond their time. the love triangle itself was a notorious topic; it was an irregular arrangement in a high-profile marriage. lady elizabeth's affair with the duke resulted in two illegitimate children: a daughter, caroline rosalie st jules, and a son, augustus clifford.
