Between lavish hospitality and ruinous lawsuits the entire property was eaten up, and Richard Cheslyn became practically a pauper; but he bore ill-fortune with good grace, and maintained his genial character to the last, being always well received at all the noble houses where he formerly visited.
Sir Bernard Burke writes that Cheslyn "at dinner-parties, at which every portion of his dress was the cast-off clothes of his grander friends, always looked and was the gentleman; he made no secret of his poverty or of the generous hands that had 'rigged him out. 'This coat, he has been heard to say, 'was Radcliffe's; these pants, Granby's; this waistcoat, Scarborough's. His cheerfulness never forsook him; he was the victim of others' mismanagement and profusion, not of his own."
