Those big shopkeepers' daughters are enormously rich, they say, and they are immensely pleased by attentions from men of your class.

You can mention the Marchioness, you know.

You need not refer to the fact that she thought your father a blackguard and your mother an interloper, and that you have never been invited to Broadmere since you were born.

You can refer casually to me and to the Bishop and to the Palace, too.

A Palace--even a Bishop's--ought to go a long way with Americans.
