Charlotte Anne Elizabeth Moberly (1846-1937) was Principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford, 1886-1915, and wrote under the name Elizabeth Morison. Eleanor Frances Jourdain (d 1924) was Principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford, 1915-1924.
On August 10, 1901, these two English friends visited the gardens of the Petit Trianon at Versailles, France. In their wanderings they saw a number of people dressed in late-18th century dress. They were also seen by the old-fashioned people in the Trianon, and twice the two ladies asked for and received directions within the gardens. It is not known whether they saw a group of contemporary people playing at dressing-up, or if in fact they shared a trance-vision of the 1770s. Their book, An Adventure, documented the strange sight, and a movie has been made of the mysterious affair.
