She fell in love with a Vespiform named Christopher in human guise in India in 1886. The relationship resulted in an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Before the child could be born, Christopher was drowned in the monsoons of 1886 when the Jumna River overflowed its banks. Clemency returned to England and hid herself away in a locked room for the rest of her pregnancy, claiming it was because she'd had malaria. Only Clemency's faithful servant, Miss Chandrakala, knew of her first pregnancy.
