It reminds me of the Dorothy Sayers book (is it Busman's Honeymoon?) in which Harriet meets the ghosts of Peter's family. This too always struck me as incongruous
Too too prematurely Chatsworth? Seriously, "Debo" Devonshire said something in a TV interview that sounded exactly like the Denver family attitude - and I couldnt work out whether she'd pinched it from Sayers - or whether families in ancient houses do get blase about the possibility. The Petres at Ingatestone talk in the same way.
