The Duke of Omnium still controlled a pocket borough, but Phineas Finn has been elected to the Commons. The Archdeacon was high and dry at Plumstead but Mrs Proudie was "in" in Barchester. Gentlemen without means proposed to heiresses. Clubs and Hostesses influenced Parliament. Society was London and Country estates."
