...drawn tiny beads of condensation from the Viscountess Felicity Fabreigh’s glass of water. In the silence that had opened up between exchanged insults, she chewed elegantly on her lower lip. Her glass threw off thin beams of iridescence, which played tricks of light and color on Viscount Frederick Fabreigh’s monocle.“It will be pointless to plant it along the north wall,” the Viscount said. “That side of the house receives so little sun. Nothing will survive outside of a few weeks in June...
...Viscount Althorp, brother of the Princess of Wales, says, "She's got a big, fat bottom." Her grandmother put on earplugs when she sang. Hardly the way to treat a lady. Unless she happens to be Lady (Helen) Teresa Margaret Manners, 23, daughter of Charles John Robert Manners, the tenth Duke of Rutland, and lead singer of the British aristo-rock band, the Business Connection. Despite the group's white-collar name, Lady Teresa's connections are strictly blue blood. Her father owns Belvoir Castle, one of Britain's most imposing homes; her 15-piece band includes the Marquess...

A few hours later, at 6:30 a.m., she died "peacefully in her sleep," according to a Buckingham Palace statement. Her two much-loved children, Viscount Linley and Lady Sarah Chatto, were at her bedside. As the Union flag flew at half - mast over Buckingham Palace for the first time since Princess Diana's death in 1997, the royal family was making arrangements for the funeral - a private service on Friday at St. George's Chapel...
...Winston Churchill was seriously injured when he stepped in front of a New York City taxi. If the impact had been harder, Viscount Lord Halifax, later known for wanting out of an "unwinnable" war with Germany, would probably have become British Prime Minister on May 10, 1941, and gone on to encourage Hitler's peace feelers after the fall of France. Instead of grim Churchillian defiance, BBC radio would have broadcast Halifax's crisp announcement of the "end of this mad war." Unhindered by a battle with Britain, Hitler would have been free to launch an even more ferocious assault...
