Abstract
This chapter opens with an analysis of the sole surviving photograph of Eliza Orme, and a description of the circumstances by which Leslie Howsam acquired a copy after many years of research without access to a visual image. It covers Eliza’s family and childhood, including the three London houses where the family lived, and corrects a much-quoted error about her mother’s early life. The two most significant of Eliza’s friends and colleagues are the philosopher Samuel Alexander (whose correspondence with Orme, only recently discovered by Howsam, reveals the frivolous side of her personality) and the lawyer-turned-local-politician Reina Lawrence (whose professional partnership with Orme might also have been an intimate one). Notable among her many connections were the politician/editor William Alexander Hunter, the novelist George Gissing, and the politician Charles Dilke. Orme’s life overlapped repeatedly with that of Hunter, although the connection has to be inferred because no direct correspondence has apparently survived. Whereas Gissing referred in his letters and diaries to Orme’s practical assistance with the breakdown of his marriage (but he apparently destroyed all her many letters to him, and may not have known or cared about her public achievements). In the case of Dilke, there is direct evidence of her political support for his radical ideas and his Liberal candidacy, and tantalizing but ambiguous evidence of her assistance at a crucial moment of scandal in Dilke’s career. As an adult Orme lived with her younger sister Beatrice and one of her brothers; she stayed in touch with a wide family connection of siblings, nieces, and nephews, but she left her estate to Beatrice Orme and Reina Lawrence. The narrative returns to Orme’s retirement and last years in chapter 7.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
