It was my old housekeeper who heard of it first by that strange wireless by which such people collect the news of the countryside. I admit I originally thought it likely the housekeeper was Mrs Hudson: it seems reasonable he'd hire a younger one for housekeeping. But the such people does suggest she was born in the locality; and Mrs Hudson is, indeed, at some exotic hotel looking in on Lady Frances Fairfax - as was, or not. And raising a tea cup to absent friends, one hopes.
