If a purchaser is found Selassie will rent a small house in Bath, it was said.
Chicago brokers are trying to interest his Majesty in South Parkway property.
Maintains Many Servants
The exiled emperor, who is an honorary member of a swanky Bath country club, has cut his housekeeping bills to a minimum. A meat fast is held at Fairfield two days every week. The staple food is curry (a stew) and vegetables grown in the garden.
Although there are many servants, including an English nurse, a maid, and a local gardener, the former empress herself sometimes helps prepare vegetables for dinner.
Selassie frequently has bought oranges from a stall in one of the cheaper department stores in the city. He and his family now walk around Bath almost unnoticed. The former emperor daily walks down the hill from Fairfield and strolls along the main Bath-Bristol road, a conspicuous figure in his black coat and derby hat.
