_Dr. Fletcher and Lady Baker._--Dr. Fletcher, Bishop of London, married a

handsome widow, the Lady Baker, sister of George Gifford the Pensioner, at

which marriage Queen Elizabeth being much displeased, the bishop is said to

have died "discontentedly by immoderate taking of tobacco." (_Athenæ._) Who

was the Lady Baker's first husband? Who was George Gifford? Was she a Roman

Catholic previous to her second marriage?
