Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Illustrations of Human Life, Vol. 3 of 3
Amelia N ebbs is quite equal to Lady Wilhelmina in a gallopade, though, perhaps, inferiorin a waltz But supper is announced. Alas the high table is bespoke, occupied; each chair guarded by Lady Grandborough's footmen till the great personage shall arrive But there have been other great personages all the while in the room, equal in rank, equal in importance, equal in following, Lord and Lady Drelincourt. They will not mix with the Grandboroughs. The Lords are of op posite politics, and rivals for the county; the Ladies hate one another, because the Countess of Drelincourt feels herself better born, and thinks herself better ton than the Lady Grandborough; and the Lady Grandborough believes herself far handsomer than the Countess of Drelincourt.
