A necklace on the dogSourced

A guest memoir recalls Lord Berners putting Woolworth imitation pearl necklaces on his dogs. When a visitor reported a missing necklace, Berners answered as though another would need to come from the safe. The inexpensive accessory acquired a grand treatment in the exchange.
The dog’s decoration became part of the household joke.
