Lord Holden choked to death when a piece of
lobster became stuck in his throat. According |
|
|
|
to
a report in 'The Manchester Guardian' of 18 July 1951, "Lord Holden,
aged 52, deputy |
|
|
|
|
Chairman and Speaker of the House of Lords who
died after collapsing at dinner on July 6, |
|
|
|
had a large piece of undigested lobster flesh
in his larynx. This was stated at the Westminster |
|
|
|
inquest yesterday. The coroner recorded a
verdict of death from misadventure and said that |
|
|
|
death was caused by asphyxiation due to
inhalation of food while at dinner." |

William Douglas-Home, brother of Sir Alec
Douglas-Home (1912-1992) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
William was the son of the 13th Earl of Home
and Lady Lilian Lambton, daughter of the 4th |
|
|
|
Earl of Durham. Perhaps William's later
eccentricity was inherited from his mother. On one |
|
|
|
|
occasion she had all her teeth taken out at one
go (without the benefit of an anaesthetic) |
|
|
|
and then attended a formal lunch to which her
false teeth were to be delivered. When they |
|
|
|
arrived, she popped them in, but they flew out
of her mouth as she shook hands with an |
|
|
|
|
admiral. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
being educated at Eton and Oxford, William trained to be an actor, sharing a
London |
|
|
|
flat with two friends - Jo Grimond (later Baron
Grimond) who was later to become leader of |
|
|
|
the Liberal Party, and Brian Johnston, later
known to all cricket followers as a respected |
|
|
|
|
cricket commentator. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When he received his call-up papers after the
outbreak of World War II, he sent a telegram |
|
|
|
to the War Office. 'Prepared to be conscripted
on the understanding that if my most strongly |
|
|
|
held principles should be challenged by Winston
Churchill's government to a point beyond |
|
|
|
|
endurance I cannot be relied on.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In September 1944, William's scruples were
severely challenged. At the time, he was a tank |
|
|
|
commander with the Royal Armoured Corps. He
received an order to attack Le Havre, which |
|
|
|
still
contained a large number of civilians whom the Germans had not allowed to
evacuate. |
|
|
|
William drove his tank for 25 laps of a turnip
field before refusing to carry out the order, for |
|
|
|
which he was court-martialled and sentenced to
a year in prison. His brother, the future |
|
|
|
|
Prime Minister, visited him there, but when he
saw that William had grown a beard, he stood |
|
|
|
with his back to him and discussed cricket with
the warders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the war, William became a successful
playwright, but not, however, a successful owner |
|
|
|
of racehorses. He once entered a horse for the
Derby - when the horse, named Goblin, got |
|
|
|
off to a poor start, William thought it had got
its tail caught in the starting gate, but in fact |
|
|
|
the horse had fallen asleep. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He was fond of practical jokes. Once he
smuggled a stuffed crocodile into the grounds of the |
|
|
|
family home and then took his mother for a walk
in the grounds. As they crossed a bridge over |
|
|
|
a stream, an accomplice pushed the crocodile
into the water. His mother, however, was |
|
|
|
|
unperturbed, remarking that 'I didn't realise
they came this far north.' |

Thomas Jeeves Horder,1st Baron Horder |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following biography of Lord Horder appeared
in the March 1969 issue of the Australian |
|
|
|
monthly magazine "Parade":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'When the all-powerful newspaper magnate Lord
Northcliffe lay dying in June 1922, his family |
|
|
|
decided to call in one of England's most
distinguished doctors, Sir Thomas (later Lord) Horder. |
|
|
|
A short, energetic little man, famous for his
treatment of Britain's great from the King down, |
|
|
|
Horder bustled into the huge bedroom where the
ailing Press lord lay. His reception was the |
|
|
|
strangest in his long career, for at the sight
of the new doctor Northcliffe grabbed a revolver |
|
|
|
from under his pillow. He levelled it at
Horder's heart and was squinting through the sights when |
|
|
|
a quick thinking male nurse standing beside the
bed knocked it out of his grasp. After that the |
|
|
|
doctor proceeded with his examination of the
now meek Northcliffe as though nothing had |
|
|
|
happened. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Horder's reputation was such that he was
frequently called in for similar consultations as a last |
|
|
|
resort by desperate relatives of dying
patients. On another occasion when a woman heard that |
|
|
|
he
had been summoned to see her she burst into tears and wailed: "Oh, am I
that bad?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Lord Horder dominated British medicine from
the time he was first called in to treat Edward VII |
|
|
|
in
1910 until his own death 45 years later. During that period Horder, a
draper's son who |
|
|
|
|
became the most fashionable doctor in the land,
tended five British monarchs from Edward VII |
|
|
|
to Elizabeth II. A recognised wizard at
diagnosis and with a breezy, friendly manner, he treated |
|
|
|
prime ministers, Indian maharajahs, captains of
industry and literary lights that included H.G. |
|
|
|
Wells to Sir James Barrie. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
was born Thomas Jeeves Horder on January 7, 1871, above his father's modest
drapery |
|
|
|
shop at Shaftesbury in Dorset. After spending
two years working on a farm to cure suspected |
|
|
|
tuberculosis he won scholarships to London
University where he lived largely on prunes for |
|
|
|
economy.
Ultimately young Thomas Horder qualified as a doctor at the renowned St. |
|
|
|
|
Bartholomew's Hospital in 1896 and remained on
its staff for the next 40 years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'After he fainted at his first few operations
he decided he was not cut out for surgery. As a |
|
|
|
physician Dr. Horder set out to master the
whole of medicine and such was his genius for |
|
|
|
|
systematic study that ultimately he frequently
confounded specialists in their own fields. In |
|
|
|
September 1902 he married a nurse at St. Bart's
and they moved into a Harley Street house |
|
|
|
where
he began private practice. At first patients for the future physician to the
King of |
|
|
|
|
England were few and he was glad of the
security of his St. Bart's appointment as well as the |
|
|
|
private coaching of medical students. Even the
provision of a gramophone and piles of jig-saw |
|
|
|
puzzles in the waiting room did not attract
many patients to his Harley Street surgery. In his |
|
|
|
first
couple of years private patients averaged one a fortnight. Five years later
they had |
|
|
|
|
reached
one a day. Economy was the watchword of the Horder household in those early
years |
|
|
|
since the doctor could not afford proper
laboratory equipment. Consequently his wife became |
|
|
|
used
to having test tubes of microbes (requiring constant warm temperature for
incubation) |
|
|
|
stored under the pillows at night. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Horder was also on the staff of a London
children's hospital and from this source came most |
|
|
|
of his early private patients. To aid him in
handling them the trained a large black cat to sit on |
|
|
|
his
desk. When he gave the order it would open its mouth and let him push down
its tongue |
|
|
|
with
a teaspoon so its throat could be inspected. Children who saw such antics had
no |
|
|
|
|
objection
to opening their mouths and proving that as patients they were "just as
good as |
|
|
|
pussy." In time the cat came to enjoy the
routine and for the rest of its life was always jumping |
|
|
|
up in front of Horder and opening its mouth
expectantly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Horder's big chance came in 1910. One of his
superiors at St. Bart's, the venerable Dr. Samuel |
|
|
|
Gee
[1839-1911] who had long been on the panel of royal physicians, suggested
that this |
|
|
|
brilliant
young doctor take his place in treating the ailing King Edward VII. On his
first visit |
|
|
|
Horder and the other physicians examined the
royal patient then withdrew to a corner of the |
|
|
|
bedroom to discuss what might be wrong with the
King. Horder suggested that they remove |
|
|
|
for a couple of days the well-stocked cabinet
of patent medicines beside the patient's bed with |
|
|
|
which he kept dosing himself - and his cigars.
In this way they would be able to obtain truer |
|
|
|
specimens
of blood and urine for pathological analysis which would help diagnosis. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The older royal physicians were horrified at
Horder's temerity in even thinking of banning both |
|
|
|
the
King's home remedies and cigars. But Horder pressed his suggestion and voices
became |
|
|
|
heated. Ultimately the King demanded to know
what all the commotion was about. The senior |
|
|
|
royal
physician explained: "It is nothing really, Your Majesty. Just a small
matter where we |
|
|
|
differ from Dr. Horder." Edward VII was
not satisfied. He insisted on hearing what Horder had to |
|
|
|
say. And when he did he immediately imposed his
own ban on the medicines and cigars for the |
|
|
|
required
period. Thus, from the specimens obtained, the glycosuria [excretion of
glucose into |
|
|
|
the urine], from which he was suffering, and
its origin were revealed and proper treatment |
|
|
|
begun. Although Edward VII died later that year
(officially from bronchitis) Dr. Horder's reput- |
|
|
|
ation was made. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Over subsequent years he became physician to
George V, Edward VIII, George VI and Elizabeth |
|
|
|
II. For such services he was knighted in 1919,
made a baronet in 1923 and ultimately in 1933 |
|
|
|
became
the first Baron Horder. And naturally other patients flocked to his Harley
Street rooms |
|
|
|
to be treated by the Royal Family's own doctor.
By the 1920s Horder was seeing 20 patients |
|
|
|
a day. To conserve time he had the habit of
reading correspondence and even writing letters |
|
|
|
in the pulled out central drawer of his desk -
while patients sat in an armchair and rambled on |
|
|
|
about their symptoms. One day a certain duchess
caught him at this and was delighted. She |
|
|
|
told him he was the only doctor who ever
bothered to take notes of what she was saying. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'From the 1920s Horder was also generally the
chosen physician at No. 10 Downing Street. It |
|
|
|
was on his advice that the ailing Andrew Bonar
Law resigned the Prime Ministership in May 1923. |
|
|
|
Both Ramsay MacDonald and Neville Chamberlain
when Prime Minister were Horder patients. In |
|
|
|
fact
he breakfasted with MacDonald at Downing Street every Tuesday morning during
the |
|
|
|
Labour leader's term of office from 1929-35. As
he received his peerage during this period it is |
|
|
|
quite evident how highly the Prime Minister
valued Horder's professional attention. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'So it seems did the Welsh coal magnate Lord
Rhondda, who left his doctor £10,000 in his will - |
|
|
|
and
started Horder on a long battle with the income tax authorities. They
contended the |
|
|
|
Rhondda bequest was in effect further payment
for Horder's medical services and ultimately |
|
|
|
he had to pay income tax on it. Sir James
Barrie was another Horder patient. He was a lonely |
|
|
|
lonely old bachelor and the busy doctor
frequently answered urgent calls to his residence only |
|
|
|
to find the author simply wanted his company on
a walk in the park. He always accompanied |
|
|
|
Barrie with good grace but he was not so happy
about the idiosyncrasy of H.G. Wells. When |
|
|
|
Wells was dying in 1946 Horder was called in
but he did not remain on the case for long. The |
|
|
|
famous author wanted newspaper reporters and
photographers to be present in the room during |
|
|
|
his doctor's daily visits and medical
examinations. Horder was adamant this was impossible so |
|
|
|
Wells got another
doctor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
sort of patients who could afford Lord Horder as doctor were used to getting
their own |
|
|
|
way. One titled lady would brook no opposition
even from her own bowels. When Horder rather |
|
|
|
diffidently asked her if they opened regularly
she replied with determination: "They'd better." |
|
|
|
Another Horder patient was a lord who had
recently inherited both the title and a famous cellar |
|
|
|
of port from his father. He telephoned the
doctor and asked him to investigate all the latest |
|
|
|
remedies for the gout he was sure he was going
to get as he overindulged in the port. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Despite his large practice Lord Horder still
found time to crusade for a variety of pet causes in |
|
|
|
the Press, on public platforms and in the House
of Lords. He was known as an enthusiastic |
|
|
|
champion of birth control and cremation, was
always attacking quack medicines and food |
|
|
|
|
substitutes
and had two particular hates - the national health scheme and the weakness
of |
|
|
|
English beer. The modern craze for dieting also
roused his ire regularly and he liked to point |
|
|
|
out
that "many Britons a century ago were bursting with good health although
they knew |
|
|
|
absolutely nothing about vitamins." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At 75 he was still quite capable of dealing
with a burglar whom he found one night systemat- |
|
|
|
ically ransacking his Harley Street rooms.
Grabbing a bamboo curtain rod Horder challenged the |
|
|
|
startled intruder who stood open-mouthed as the
old doctor boldly asserted the power of his |
|
|
|
medical knowledge. "I know my anatomy
considerably better than you," Horder told the intruder. |
|
|
|
"I know exactly where to jab you with this
so you won't be much good for anything hereafter." |
|
|
|
And the threat so frightened the burglar that
he huddled in a corner while Horder dialled the |
|
|
|
police. The intruder was still there when they
arrived to arrest him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On the morning of August 13, 1955, Lord Horder
suffered a heart attack at his country home |
|
|
|
and to the doctors who were summoned he calmly
gave a dissertation on his own symptoms as |
|
|
|
if he were diagnosing a patient. They
administered pain-deadening drugs but could not deceive |
|
|
|
the man who was called "the greatest
diagnostician of his time." He continued to give a running |
|
|
|
commentary on tell-tale signs which showed his
heart was gradually failing and told them his |
|
|
|
chances of surviving until the following day
were negligible. The prognosis was correct. Lord |
|
|
|
Horder died at six that evening after warning
relatives to make sure his body was cremated and |
|
|
|
not buried.' |

Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The biography of Monckton Milnes was written in
two books by James Pope-Hennessy. The first |
|
|
|
book, "Monckton Milnes, the Years of
Promise 1809-1851," was published by Constable in 1949. |
|
|
|
The
second book, "The Flight of Youth 1851-1885," was published two
years later. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A review of the second book was published in
the Launceston, Tasmania 'Examiner' on 9 |
|
|
|
|
February 1952:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
life of Monckton Milnes (born 1809, Mayfair; died 1885, Vichy) is the story
of a dilettante |
|
|
|
and failure. The first and better volume of
Pope-Hennessy's frank biography of this Victorian |
|
|
|
notable was entitled "The Years of
Promise." The second is called "The Flight of Youth." For |
|
|
|
youth has flown, but promise has not been realised. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'What,
asks the puzzled reader, did Monckton Milnes really do? As much (the answer
may be) |
|
|
|
as any son of a rich manufacturing family with
7500 acres of land and a rent-roll of £11,000 a |
|
|
|
year can be expected to do. In that case why
should he have impressed himself on his age to |
|
|
|
the extent that he did? There are several reasons. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
was the rejected suitor of Florence Nightingale. He was kind to struggling
genius, like |
|
|
|
Swinburne.
He collected famous men, like Carlyle. He was a social entrepreneur, who
gathered |
|
|
|
at his famous breakfast parties distinguished
personalities who would not otherwise have met |
|
|
|
one another. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'He
had some talent. One of his poems ["Shadows"] has reached the
Oxford Book of English |
|
|
|
Verse.
He spoke pompously in Parliament for liberal causes, hoped in vain for
office. Each |
|
|
|
speech, said Disraeli, was worse than the one
before. He was an intriguer and a gossip. He kept |
|
|
|
his friends, but not their confidences. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A
faint air of absurdity clings to him. The liking of his acquaintances stopped
short of |
|
|
|
|
admiration. Carlyle found him "almost
bland, smiling, semi-quizzical, affectionate, high-bred |
|
|
|
Italianised little man who has long olive-blond
hair, a dimple, next to no chin." Blackwoods |
|
|
|
Magazine dismissed him as "glib, fluent,
pushing, confident, unabashed." Hardly a monarch in |
|
|
|
Europe could review his troops, but Monckton
Milnes would be there in his Yorkshire militia |
|
|
|
uniform. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The chief crisis in this second half of his
life is semi-comic. Time is the closing stages of the |
|
|
|
Crimean War; Milnes is happily married, accepts
political failure, but is not reconciled to it. |
|
|
|
He
said: "The worst part of failure is the envy of the successful. It is
impossible to be just |
|
|
|
at once to them and to ourselves." Feeling
that he must have some reward for his political |
|
|
|
services, Milnes sought a peerage, "the
token of a half-success in life" for his father. It was |
|
|
|
not the first time he had tried to confer such
a benefit. After an earlier effort, Peel had once |
|
|
|
written to him "Out of respect for your
father, I advise him to retain the distinction of not |
|
|
|
being a baronet." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'This time, through Palmerston, and after
immense lobbying by Milnes - a letter
was sent to |
|
|
|
the elder Milnes in Yorkshire. He was an
upright, level-headed Unitarian, who, without consulting |
|
|
|
his family, sent the Prime Minister a note
courteously declining the peerage. Disraeli noted the |
|
|
|
son's
"despair" and (wrongly) attributed the refusal to old Milne's
desire to mortify his heir. |
|
|
|
Milnes sulked and stormed. His father made
matters worse by deriding the notion that the |
|
|
|
peerage was offered in recognition of his son's
merits. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The wound festered for seven years when
Milnes, his father being dead, accepted a barony. |
|
|
|
His friends, who had called him "Lord
Tattle of Scandal," had now to call him Lord Houghton. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There
was, however, a less-known side of Milnes apart from the public work which
Queen |
|
|
|
Victoria recognised with a peerage. The
Dictionary of National Biography demurely glances at |
|
|
|
it. "He had many fine tastes and some
coarse ones." His first biographer said that genealogical |
|
|
|
histories, rare German treatises, a wonderful
collection of criminal trials were "but a few of the |
|
|
|
subjects illustrated in this unique
library." It was an understatement. Milnes gathered together |
|
|
|
in Fryston, his Yorkshire seat, one of the most
complete pornographic libraries in Europe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Before leaving for church on a Sunday morning,
he would genially indicate to his guests the |
|
|
|
choicer items in an astounding collection.
Milnes' chief adviser in obtaining such books was a |
|
|
|
psychopathic Englishman living in Paris named
Fred Hankey, son of a general. This macabre |
|
|
|
individual
(thought to have died in an asylum) had the head of "some emaciated and
ecstatic |
|
|
|
young
priest" and manners of exquisite sweetness. He had a taste for cruelty,
but thought it |
|
|
|
wicked to kill animals for food. One of the
volumes in his library was bound in human skin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Hankey
became known to French authors, who spread the belief that sadism was the
English |
|
|
|
vice. How did Hankey pass the books to Milnes
through the watchful British Customs? Some |
|
|
|
were sent in the British Embassy bag addressed
to a friend of Hankey's in the Foreign Office. |
|
|
|
Most were brought in by Mr. Harris, manager of
Covent Garden Opera House, who would return |
|
|
|
from business trips to Paris with quarto
volumes hidden in the small of his back. Thus emerged |
|
|
|
the strange erotic collection on which young
Swinburne descended with shrill cries of delight. |
|
|
|
Milnes has been blamed for corrupting the poet.
But Swinburne, it is clear, was half-corrupted |
|
|
|
before
he reached the shelves of Fryston. |

darker corners.' |
