Anthony laughed, but did not reveal what had struck him. "Sir William Blancove's house is a first-rater. I've been in it. He lives in the library. All the other rooms enter 'em, and if 'taint like a sort of, a social sepulchre! Dashed if he can get his son to live with him; though they're friends, and his son'll get all the money, and go into Parliament, and cut a shine, never fear.
