Narrator: Five years in the English and Prussian armies - plus considerable experience of traveling the world - had by now dispelled any of those romantic notions, regarding love, with which Barry commenced life. And he had it in mind, as so many gentlemen had before him, to marry a woman of great fortune and condition. And - as such things so often happen - these thoughts closely coincided with his setting sight upon a lady, who would henceforth play a considerable part in the drama of his life: the Countess of Lyndon, Viscountess Bullingdon of England, Baroness of Castle Lyndon of the Kingdom of Ireland, a woman of vast wealth and great beauty. She was the wife of The Right Honorable Sir Charles Reginald Lyndon: Knight of the Bath; Minister to George III at several of the smaller Courts of Europe; a cripple, wheeled about in a chair, worn out by gout and a myriad of other diseases. Her Ladyship's Chaplain, Mr. Runt, acted in the capacity of tutor to her son: the little Viscount Bullingdon; a melancholy boy, much attached to his mother
