Pimm's over a game of croquet, surely ?

 

Bit of a tangent, but a true story....,.....

Last season, I helped a mate out on his shoot, and I got chatting to a lovely elderly lady. She told that she'd once been beating, many years ago,, and met "a delightful chap, absolute gentleman", who she chatted to a few times through the day. Afterwards, she asked her husband if he knew who the man was.

 

He replied "That's the Duke of Rutland."

She was an old lady, so perhaps she meant the previous Duke ? She spoke of him in glowing terms.

Used to go to Belvoir Castle when I was a kid........
