… “These are heavy misfortunes,” as Elizabeth Bennett says to Lady Catherine de Bourgh; yet we are all pulling for Jill Biden, and hoping she can come out in one piece on the other side.

It’s hard to slander Lady Catherine de Bourgh, but perhaps you’ve achieved that via the Melania comparison.
I have a neighbor with the largest house on the block, who shortly after I moved in asked me not to park in front of her house, on our public street, so that the paper guy would have an easier toss. I told her that I would try never to park there unless there were exceptional circumstances, such as no other spaces on our entire big block. She told me I was being difficult.
With a vast retinue of workers almost always at her manor house over the years, she has become known to us, solely inter sese, as Catherine de Bourgh.
Some are are making book on precisely when divorce proceedings officially start. I am curious about how much clandestine, high quality legal advice, if any, she’s gotten already.
Off to see if Vegas is making odds.

Greg: Don’t know where you live, but your de Bourgh’s behavior is echt-Bethesda.
That “vast retinue of workers almost always at her manor house” is impressive, of course; but it sounds as though the rest of your block is failing to keep up. Make Atherton CA – America’s richest zip code – your model:
Atherton has no land zoned for commercial activity – the number of landscapers, contractors, plumbers, electricians, painters and cleaners who inundate the town limits to service the various mansions during the work week is a wonder of its own. On a recent Thursday, so many pickup trucks of landscapers and contractors lined Atherton Avenue that a taco truck and a pupusa truck parked along the stretch to feed the workers.
Until home contractors on your block are so thick on the ground every day as to spawn an entire new industry servicing them, you cannot hold your head up high.
