Architecturally, Walsingford Hall offended his cultured taste, but it had the same charm for him which a millioniare uncle from Australia exerts in spite of wearing a loud check suit and a fancy waistcoat. Wealth is entitled to its eccentricities of exterior, and, in return for what lies beneath, we are prepared to condone the outer crust.
(from Summer Moonshine, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
