Excerpt from Tancred, or the New Crusade, Vol. 1 of 3
No sight or sound can be seen or heard at any hour, which could pain the most precise or the most fastidious. Even if a chance oath may float on the air from a stable-yard to the lodging of a French cook, 'tis of the newest fashion, and, if responded to with less of novel charm, the repartee is at least conveyed in the language of the most polite of nations. They bet upon the Derby in these parts a little, are interested in Goodwood which they frequent have perhaps, in general, a weakness for play, live highly, and indulge those passions which luxury and refinement encourage but that is all.
