Ah, these merchant-princes! What of Mr.Radnor's amateur instrumentalists?
Amateurs, they are not to be named: perfect musicians.

Mr.Radnor is the perfection of a host.

Yes, yes; Mrs.
Radnor; Miss Radnor too: delicious voices; but what is it about Mr.
Radnor so captivating! He is not quite English, yet he is not at all foreign.

Is he very adventurous in business, as they say?
'Soundest head in the City of London,' Mr.Blathenoy remarked.
Sir Rodwell Blachington gave his nod.
The crowd interjected, half-sighing.

We ought to be proud of such a man! Perhaps we are a trifle exaggerating, says its heart.
