    Lytton's relationship with Ottoline was a picturesque but psychologially less straightforward. A rumour spread through Bloomsbury that he was romantically inclined towards her - a piece of gossip which Virginia, who pictured the great hostess when absent from Lytton as 'languishing like a sick and yellow alligator', helped to popularize. There were stories that appeared to give body to theses rumours. Henry Lamb, it was said, had come upon them fixed in a fierce embrace, witnessing when they sprang apart, blood flowing down Lytton's lip. But this might have become confused with the occasion when Lytton found Henry and Ottoline embracing, and Ottoline turned to explain:"I was just giving Henry an aspirin."
