The narration in this clip is in the style of celebrity gossip in which Newmarch identifies people by their outfit, social status, beauty or source of wealth, as well as their name. His descriptions include an 'exotic-looking figure, a 'commanding young matron’, an 'elegant young woman’ and, finally, the 'charming’ Jenny Faulkner, the hostess of the party. The extravagant party also features plenty of alcohol, cocker spaniels, a horse on the lawn and archery. While times have changed, this style of local celebrity piece is familiar to audiences today from entertainment magazines, reality television and newspaper social pages.
