I remember my father saying how he saw the gentleman being carried out of
the Peacock Hotel at Market Harborough Leicestershire rather the worse for
wear after a day out with a local hunt.
I can't somehow picture him going home to his pillow and bobbins ;o)

LOL! I like that explanation even better! Besides, anyone who has ever
made a lace tablecloth knows that it is no light undertaking. It's a
real endurance test and I doubt that Edward was the type...

Interesting. I tried googling it and discovered that Edward's first
love, Freda Dudley-Ward, was the daughter of a Nottingham lacemaker.
Maybe it was a present from the first girlfriend and Wallis
misunderstood. Or Edward was taking liberties with the truth.... <vbg>
