We don't know much about Doyle's  wives, do we?  esp the Louise.


           Jean Elizabeth Leckie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s second wife,
was indeed a trained vocalist—she was accomplished as a singer and had
studied music. While she was not primarily known as a writer, she was
described as an intellectual and was deeply involved in her husband’s
life, including his spiritualist endeavors. After their marriage in
1907, she became known as Lady Conan Doyle and was recognized as a
spiritualist, sharing her husband’s beliefs and experiences in that field.

           We know quite a bit about her personal life: she was
athletic, passionate, and devoted to her family, raising three children
with Conan Doyle. She was also known for her strong personality and was
remembered as a central figure in Conan Doyle’s later years, fully
supporting his public and private pursuits. However, she did not achieve
independent literary or artistic fame outside of her association with
her husband and the spiritualist community.
