Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales and Novels, Vol. 9 "Are you to be at Lady Clonbrony´s gala next week said Lady Langdale to Mrs. Dareville, while they were waiting for their carriages in the crush-room of the opera-house. "O yes! everybody´s to be there, I hear, replied Mrs. Dareville. "Your ladyship, of course?" "Why, I don´t know: if I possibly can. Lady Clonbrony makes it such a point with me, that I believe I must look in upon her for a few minutes. They are going to a prodigious expense on this occasion. Soho tells me the reception-rooms are all to be new furnished, and in the most magnificent style." "At what a famous rate those Clonbronies are dashing on," said Colonel Heathcock. "Up to any thing." "Who are they? - these Clonbronies, that one hear of 80 much of late?" said her grace of Torcaster. "Irish absentees, I know. But how do they support all this enormous expense?" "The son will have a prodigiously fine estate when some Mr. Quin dies," said Mrs. Dareville. "Yes, everybody who comes from Ireland will have a fine estate when somebody dies," said her grace. "But what have they at present?" "Twenty thousand a-year, they say," replied Mrs. Dareville. "Ten thousand, I believe," cried Lady Langdale. Ten thousand, have they? - possibly," said her grace. "I know nothing about them - have no acquaintance among the Irish. Torcaster knows something of Lady Clonbrony; she has fastened herself, by some mean?, upon him; but I charge him not to commit me.
