Brookie and Frances led a good life. They knew everybody, they went everywhere; to the Rothschilds' in France, to the Duke of Edinburgh's, to see the Queen in London. At Warwick they kept the castle full of relations and bigwigs, gave sumptuous parties, showed visitors a little elephant that roamed in the house, an ant bear that slept with the Countess...
