Since his 1959 remarriage to Mollie Courtauld, widow of his first wife's cousin, Rab has bounced back with all his old vitality. A warmhearted man beneath a glacial public visage, he worships the ten Butler and Courtauld grandchildren, who call him "Grandrab." From his first marriage he also inherited a priceless collection of French canvases (Renoir, Cezanne, Manet), and he is rated one of the better do-it-yourself parliamentary painters since Churchill. He may never become Prime Minister, though he insists, "I never use the word 'never.' " If he does get the job, he would be the first to pronounce himself "the best Prime Minister we have."
