1 1 Sydney Smith wrote to Lord Denman in 1841 : " Lady Holland dines with us on the lyth. Does Lady Denman know Lady HOST AND HOSTESS 65 The dinner-hour was the rallying-point of the Holland House circle. It was fixed in later years at five o'clock, pour getter tout le monde, according to Talleyrand. This arrangement appears to have been made in the autumn of 1832, when Greville, too, strongly objected to it. " Lady Holland is unwell, " he wrote in his journal on November 2oth, " fancies she mu...st dine at five o'clock, and exerts all her power over society by making every- body go there at that hour, though nothing can be more inconvenient than thus shortening the day, and nothing more tiresome than thus lengthening the evening. " But the diarist was out of humour with his hostess, and on the eve of a quarrel with her which he kept up for two years. Deductions must in all fairness be made therefore from his sardonic account of " this strange house, which presents an odd mixture of luxury and constraint, of enjoyments, physical and intellectual, with an alloy of small desagrements.
