About this book

Tony Butler is by Charles Lever, and its contents list names chapters called The Cottage Beside The Causeway and A Country-House in Ireland, among others. Mark says he asked a man about his stable, and the reply was that the only quadruped he has is a spaniel, blind from age, and stupid. Mrs. Trafford asks Mark who was the snob there, and says she fancied he had been unjust to one they all value very highly.

A speaker says of a certain man that it is all for rank and title, not for money, that he cares, and that his whole game in life was played for the Peerage. A speaker says a woman liked him well enough as a brother, but never thought of him as anything else, and that all the interest she had taken in him was out of friendship.
