Lothair by Benjamin Disraeli

"The Goodwood Cup, my lord-the Doncaster. This pair of flagons for his highness the Khedive-something quite new-yes, parcel-gilt, the only style now-it gives relief to design-yes, by Monti, a great man, hardly inferior to Flaxman, if at all. Flaxman worked for Rundell and Bridge in the old days-one of the principal causes of their success. Your lordship's gold service was supplied by Rundell and Bridge. Very fine service indeed, much by Flaxman-nothing of that kind seen now."

"I never did see it," said Lothair. He was replying to Mr. Ruby, a celebrated jeweller and goldsmith, in a celebrated street, who had saluted him when he had entered the shop, and called the attention of Lothair to a group of treasures of art.
