Wenn er manchmal auf dem Lande auf seiner großen Besitzung in Nottinghamshire war, die eleganten jungen Leute, die meistens seine Gesellschaft bildeten, bewirtete, und die Leute der Gegend durch den üppigen Luxus und den verschwenderischen Glanz seiner Lebenshaltung in Staunen setzte, verließ er wohl plötzlich seine Gäste und fuhr eilends in die Stadt zurück, um zu sehn, ob sich niemand an der Tür zu schaffen gemacht habe und ob das Bild noch da sei.

When he was sometimes in the country at his large estate in Nottinghamshire, entertaining the elegant young people who usually comprised his company, and amazed the local people with the lavish luxury and extravagant splendor of his lifestyle, he would suddenly leave his guests and hurry back to the city to see if no one had tampered with the door and if the painting was still there.
