Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miss. Shafto, Vol. 1 of 2 On a certain evening in the month of June, Baron Lammergeier, M.P., and his wife gave one of those great crushes for which they were renowned. Anybody, of course, can give a crush; it is not a form of entertainment which, as a general rule, demands any great trouble or expenditure. But Baron Lammergeier, who was exceptional in that he provided his guests with a magnificent supper and spent as much money upon flowers and music when he gave an evening party as when he gave a ball, was still more exceptional in regard to the fact that he got people to go to his parties, and was even pestered for invitations to the same. Highly distinguished personages these were, too, some of them. A few, being so very distinguished that they could afford to tell the truth and please themselves, avowed that they came for the sake of seeing the rooms, eating the supper and hearing the music; others, less secure of their position in the social scale, felt bound to give explanations and excuses.
