Book excerpt: In this book "we experience through the eyes of a country gentlewoman the styles and customs of this attractice era : how the gentry lived, dressed, dined and were entertained ; and where they lived, amid the aesthetic splendours of the English country house and its handsome counterpart in the town. Doors are flung open to reveal the shade and stripe of wallpaper, the arrangement of furnture, and even the complete workings of the kitchen." -- book jacket.
