What Members Thought
I found this enjoyable but without much substance. An old retainer tells the story of how the owners of an Irish estate came to ruin through the mistakes and profligacy of several successors, and finally lost the estate to an upstart. It was amusing in places and showed class mobility to an extent that must have only just been imaginable.
