A juicy gem supplied by ze ever-obliging J:

It seems the razor-minded, aging countess and society wit Margot Asquith, wife of that Prime Minister who later became the Earl of Oxford was once at a dinner party that included the blond American screen siren and bad girl Jean Harlow. Jean Harlow, recognising her, asked loudly, "Say, aren't you Margot Asquith?" but mispronounced the name as "Mar Got". To which her ladyship replied, "Oh, no, dear, the T is silent, as in Harlow."

Ehehe. |
