The 8th Duke of Bridgewater

[My Good Babushka]

Lord Francis Henry Egerton, the 8th Duke of Bridgewater, knew few people, yet his table was always set and a dozen servers were in attendance. He threw dinner parties for his favorite dogs, the dogs were dressed in the finest fashions of the day, right down to dog-sized shoes. Each was seated in his own armchair with a napkin tied about his neck. Egerton never married and his title was extinguished with his death.
