“. . . Thanet
has won £40,000 in one night at Paris. He broke the bank at the Salon twice: the question is—will he bring any of this
money home with him? I take it for granted not.”
Sackville Tufton, ninth earl of Thanet (1769-1825)
Son of the eighth earl; he was high sheriff of Westmoreland, a gambler, an
agriculturalist, and follower of Charles James Fox.
