R.I.P. I wonder sometimes why on earth I would ever read Nancy Mitford, or why I should even be willingly aware of rich people. This is why- every once in a while one of them makes use of herself for the better.

R.I.P. I wonder sometimes why on earth I would ever read Nancy Mitford, or why I should even be willingly aware of rich people. This is why- every once in a while one of them makes use of herself for the better.
Apparently they are now saying she killed herself!
The fashion icon Isabella Blow ended her life by drinking the deadly weedkiller paraquat, a coroner revealed today .
Mrs Blow collapsed at her country home in Gloucestershire after telling weekend house guests who included the royal milliner Philip Treacy whose hats she helped make famous that she was going shopping. She died in hospital on Monday at the age of 48.
Initially it was suggested that Mrs Blow had died of cancer. But at the opening of the inquest into her death today the deputy Gloucestershire coroner David Dooley said that tests on her body had tested positive for paraquat. Further toxicological tests are to be undertaken before a full inquest is held in October.
He said: “Mrs Blow had been taken to hospital on Saturday 5th May having been found in a poorly state by her sister. In hospital she told doctors she had taken paraquat and tests proved positive for this liquid.
