at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - It was Lady Windermere's last
reception before Easter, and Bentinck House was even more crowded
than usual. Six Cabinet Ministers had come on from the Speaker's
Levee in their stars and ribands, all the pretty women wore their
smartest dresses, and at the end of the picture-gallery stood the
Princess Sophia of Carlsruhe, a heavy Tartar-looking lady, with
tiny black eyes and wonderful emeralds, talking bad French at the
top of her voice, and laughing immoderately at everything that was
said to her. It was certainly a wonderful medley of people.
Gorgeous peeresses chatted affably to violent Radicals, popular
preachers brushed coat-tails with eminent sceptics, a perfect bevy
of bishops kept following a stout prima-donna from room to room, on
the staircase stood several Royal Academicians, disguised as
artists, and it was said that at one time the supper-room was
absolutely crammed with geniuses. In fact, it was one of Lady
Windermere's best nights, and the Princess stayed till nearly
half-past eleven.
