Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Accolade John Ingestre junior, coming in from the stables by a complicated backway of his own invention - there were plenty to choose from at the Hall - paused at the door of the butler´s pantry. ´Anyone in the drawing-room, Markham?´ he asked in confidence. ´Mrs. Thynne and Miss Ursula, Mr. John,´ said the permanent official he addressed, who was polishing glass. ´Dash Mrs. Thynne,´ said Johnny. ´I mean, I knew she was there already. Is there anyone that matters?´ He slashed his legs lightly with his whip, to convey an idea to Markham, connected with the mud they liberally displayed. Markham understood correctly that Johnny´s betrothed and her mother could (or must) stand him in any garb, but some of the ladies of the district were more fastidious. Being a permanent official, however, it was hard to move Markham from his chosen line. ´Lady Lydia is also with Mrs. Ingestre, sir -´ ´Dash Lady Lydia!´ said Johnny cheerfully. ´Bert, we shall get some tea, at this rate.´ Bert, in Johnny´s rear, in even more splashed and unseemly attire, was Lord Dering´s heir, an immensely important person everywhere but in Johnny´s society. ´Mrs. Clewer called, sir,´ said Markham, ´but may have left again unknown to me, since she looked in to see the conservatory.´ ´Who´s Mrs. Clewer?´ said Bert, as John´s face lengthened.
