ABSTRACT

Count Altenberg arrived at Clermont-Park, and as Lord Oldborough was still confined by the gout, Commissioner Falconer, to his Lady’s infinite satisfaction, was deputed to show him every thing that was worth seeing in this part of the country. Every morning some party was formed by Mrs Falconer, and so happily arranged, that her Georgiana and the Count were necessarily thrown together. The Count rode extremely well; Miss Falconers had been taught to ride in a celebrated riding house, and were delighted to display their equestrian graces. When they were not disposed to ride – the Count had a phaeton, and Mrs Falconer a barouche; 224 and either in / the phaeton, or the barouche seat, Miss Georgiana Falconer was seated with the Count, who, as she discovered, drove uncommonly well.
