How did the party go in Portman Square?
I cannot tell you: Juliet was not there.
And how did Lady Gaster's party go?
Juliet was next to me and I do not know.

Juliet of the poem
From guest Mitch (contact)
I believe she was Belloc's great friend Lady Juliet Duff (1881—1965), to whom he wrote several poems. -
I love Belloc's poetry but have never discovered who 'Juliet' in these and several other verses actually was!
Is this known? I suspect she was a married woman - see 'Towards the closing of her splendid day...'
