Which is the Man?
Hannah Cowley
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
"Oh! Lord Sparkle! - Who can resist the gay, the elegant, the all-conquering Lord Sparkle? The most distinguished feather in the plume of fashion - without that barbarous strength of mind which gives importance to virtues or to vices. Fashionable, because he's well drest: - Brilliant, because he's of the first Clubs, and uses his borrowed wit like his borrowed gold, as tho' it was his own." A delightful comedy by a quite successful woman playwright.

good effort

It seems that every story regarding the landed gentry seems to involve people that are trapped in a world that is absent of spirit. A bit like a bored farm yard sheep, rather than a than a majestic wild one of mountains
