Concerning Lady Oranmore and Browne

Her screen name was Sally Gray.
After she married Oranmore and Browne, the couple
settled at Castle Mac Garrett, County Mayo. Although she had
never before been to Ireland, she happily left her career
behind and developed a passion for gardening. But the estate
no longer had the financial support which had been provided
by the second Lady Oranmore and Browne, the former Oonagh
Guinness, and the rural economy in Ireland was declining
sharply.
Lord Oranmore and Browne ended up rearing pigs in the
drawing room in the hope that animals raised in such
surroundings would command a higher price.
Lady Oranmore and Browne, who died on September 24,
continued to enjoy lunching at Simpson's and Wilton's. She
remained unflappably good-humoured even when she became
stuck in her bath.
