My name is George Nathaniel Curzon,
I am a most superior person.
My face is pink, my hair is sleek,
I dine at Blenheim once a week

There is a story that on walking past a jewellers he looked into a window and said to a friend
“what are those small silver tubes”
“they are napkin rings, some people some don’t use fresh linens for each meal but use the same one all day and store it rolled up in the ring”. To which a Curzon replied
“Can there be such poverty!”

It is probably apocryphal but shows how he was viewed. He was also involved in building the cenotaph in Whitehall.

There is a book about a latter Lord Scarsdale that is quite good as behind the scenes https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004CVKQC0/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
