Excerpt from Sabina Zembra, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
On a certain Wednesday afternoon in March the billiard-room of the Waldegrave Club, Pall Mall, was the scene of a remarkable occurrence. The Waldegrave, it may be said parenthetically, is held in much veneration by our country cousins as the headquarters of a great political party; there the chiefs of that party are supposed to meet and direct the operations of a general election; thither impecunious candidates look for the sinews of war; and the honour of its membership is understood to be the crowning glory and reward of him who has wooed and won over to the cause a doubtful constituency.
