Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Belgravia, Vol. 74: January to April, 1891
As years went on, ancient inhabitants who remembered the illuminations after Waterloo, and told anecdotes of George the Fourth, had been gradually gathered to their family vaults, and there was no inducement for other gentry to take their places. Some of the finest houses were let in tenements, and displayed small washings ?uttering from upper windows. Several stood empty, with rusty area-railings, and shattered panes. Over the late abode of a baronet hung three weather beaten golden balls, and the mansion in which Mrs. General Moriarty once held her famous routs, and card parties thinks itself very lucky to. Be no worse than the police barrack!
