The

in

seems
to
be
going
through
what
author
Roy
Perrott
calls
a
phase
of
conspicuous
mod
modesty
¬
esty
The
days
are
long
gone
of
swashbuckling
peers
like
the
Yellow
Earl
of
Lonsdale
so
called
because
he
ran
a
fleet
of
yellow
carriages
with
postilions
in
matching
livery
-
and
a
former
Duke
of
Bed
ford
who
always
sent
a
week

guest
back
to
London
with
eight
servants
and

Ordinary
Nowadays
even
if
they
live
in
houses
built
by
Sir
John
Vanbrugh
filled
with
Chip
Chippendale
¬
pendale
furniture
and
family
portraits
by
Reynolds
and
Gainsborough
the
done
thing
Is
to
give
the
impres
sion
of
Just
being
ordinary
chaps
This
attitude
however
does
not
appeal
to
the
Scottish
no
nobles

bles
who
have
a
firmer
belief
In
feudal
values
and
rather
despise
the
English
lack
of
