About this book
The Grandee is a book by Armando Palacio Valdés. A man draws a bundle from under his cloak, places it with a trembling hand near the door, and pulls the bell-cord three times.
The three pulls of the bell show that the visitor to the aristocratic mansion of the Quiñones was a nobleman on a par with the Señores, since a servant rang once and ordinary visitors rang twice. Paco Gomez once ventured to break the rule for a joke, but he was received so coldly when he entered the drawing-room that he never cared to repeat the experiment. The time fixed for the auspicious occasion was the month of August, and the Grange was the house most fitting for celebrating the marriage in the country.
