The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle Volume 2 Chapter 105

In which Peregrine Pickle, newly enriched by his late father's considerable estate, navigates the social and political attentions of his country neighbours with a prudent and temperate manner, while settling his domestic affairs and contending with family discord. On his return to London, a chance encounter leads him to a curious squire's residence, whose ludicrously altered ancestral portraits provoke both mirth and reflection upon the follies of taste.
