Amused Disraeli and the lively Monty Corry tale
Amused Disraeli is described as a thin pale talker with a witty tongue who enjoyed country-house life as Monty Corry. The piece recalls his mood shifts, a Beaconsfield encounter, and his secretary Mary Carry. It also notes a flood at the Corso and a wolf encounter in Dordogne, then mentions George Eliot’s Parkshot Row home where Scenes from Clerical Life and Adam Bede were written.
