Gets me wondering, though. Will today's Brits generate such lovely obits? Limeys of the imperial age seem to have lived such amazingly interesting lives. Look at the royals and nobility of the present age. Will any ten of them be as interesting as Princess Elizabeth?
With the set of the Empire's bright sun
It's eccentrics shufflin' off one by one
We might as well get-set
That today's British jet-set
Will never be half as much fun.
