Lord Arthur Savile's crime

About “Lord Arthur Savile's crime”

It was Lady Windermere's final reception before Easter, and Bentinck House was unusually crowded. Six Cabinet Ministers arrived from the Speaker's Levee, dressed in their medals and decorations. The women wore their most elegant outfits. At the end of the picture-gallery stood the Princess Sophia of Carlsruhe, a heavy woman with small black eyes and large emeralds. She spoke bad French loudly and laughed excessively at everything said to her.
