There is a certain talent that manifests itself in the privileged classes. Elizabeth Sprigge is an example. Her father, Sir Squire Sprigge was the editor of the Lancet. Her mother, Mary Moss, was the daughter of Sir Charles Moss who had been the Chief Justice of Ontario.
During World II Sprigge worked at the Ministry of Information, (1941–44) as a Swedish Specialist. In 1946 she and her husband Mark Napier divorced and Elizabeth soon added theatre director (The Watergate Theatre) to her resume.
Her biography, Jean Cocteau: the Man and the Mirror mentions cats (of course.) Sprigge's details lend a nice dimension. She points out that the actress Cocteau was close to, in the early part of the century just past, Madeleine Carlier,.."was a great lover of cats and had persuaded Cocteau to have three Siamese."

The intersection of privilege and genius is by no means explicable.
