Men are strange.
As a very experienced male friend of mine once put it, 'No man is a match for any woman'. Whereas de Dion is not content with keeping the style of carriages to which his rank and fortune might warrant. In order to hear how the frigate HMS Euryalus, sunk off Portsmouth, had been salvaged, Queen Victoria invited Admiral Foley to dinner. Having exausted this subject, Queen Victoria inquired after her close friend, the Admiral's sister. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out and that the growing generation is familiarized with the idea from the beginning.
