There was a certain house in Grosvenor Square, London, which was a meeting place for many of the most distinguished men and women of the time. If you were fortunate enough to receive an invitation, you were sure to meet the latest "lion."

And probably you would also meet one or two persons who counted for nothing in the list of the world's great ones. If so, it was well not to ignore them.

For the titled lady whose salon it was took keen pleasure in the discovery of unknown talent or unrecognized genius.
