Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dick Pentreath There was no one so well liked in the county by rich and poor as Dick Pentreath. It is a very proud and very exclusive county, and Dick was a simple gentleman, with an income which almost any one of his friends might have given away without missing it. The wealth of the county is only less amazing than its rank. It has no middle class at all. There seems to be a sheer descent from the Duke of Lydford to the agricultural labourer: none of the thousand and one gradations that usually occupy the intervening spaces. The parsons are often sons of noble families. If the nouveau riche puts his nose into the county he is frozen out, unless he has more than his money to recommend him, for the aristocracy are old-fashioned people, to whom money as money counts for nothing.
