Yes, foxy. But nothing to stir up wild fantasies like the Maharani Jendeen of Lahore, winsome little lass that she was. I always fantasized about dancing with her under the moonlight, trying to snatch the diamond from her taut, sexy navel with my own. Of course, those two bloody American military advisors that she employed always insisted that those stories were outright lies.

I’m not exactly sure why, in the pre-antibiotic age, that Mary Curzon was more likely to die in a tropical or subtropical climate than Nathaniel Curzon. In colonial America, female settlers tended to outlive male settlers in the malarial Chesapeake, a third of whom died off within 7 years of arrival. A woman might easily outlive two or three husbands.

Seems to me it was simply the roll of the dice.

Even better, your wife, sacrificing herself for you, dies in agony and you jaunt off and marry some kinky romance writing floosy.

I think I’ll go and place a rose on Mary’s grave. Poor woman.

You blame a man for his wife’s death? That’s pretty harsh. Anyway, I remarried: the romance novelist Elinor Gyln!

So, your dedication to Queen and Country took precedence over marital duty with your beloved ultimately sacrificing her life in support of her husband.

Way to go Curzon. Hang your head in shame.
