In 1895 Violet Gordon-Woodhouse entered into a mariage blanc with John Gordon-Woodhouse. His reasons for entering into the marriage are unclear. In 1899, William Barrington moved into the marital house, joined later by Max Labouchere and Denis Tollemache. This arrangement was referred to in society circles as the "Woodhouse circus".
