Bath Assembly Rooms, ballroom. The C18 chandeliers (’lustres’) are things of wonder. Made by Jonathan Collet for £382, as paid on 21 September 1771.

Also almost certainly where the profligate Jack Byron first enchanted the young heiress Catherine Gordon with his "fine dancing" (& handsome face)🕺

Their only son George – later the poet Lord Byron – was born almost 3 years later

'A puma is not a bird," said Tobias, after a hundred paces. "It is a kind of cat - felis concolor. You may see it soon: it is moving along with us, on the right.' The word cat brought nothing into Jack's mind but a fleeting image of a shabby, brownish-black little creature called Tib that disgraced the drawing-room at home, and he plodded on in silence. Every hundred yards or so they changed shoulders, and during the third change there was a coughing noise to their right, a series of coughs, huge, deep, throaty coughs, that culminated in a shattering roar, unimaginably loud. 'Not a bird, Jack, you see,' said Tobias. 'How big?' cried Jack, vividly alive now, with terror coursing up and down his spine. 'The size of an indifferent lion,' said Tobias. 'You can see him if you bend and look under the yellow bush. He is tearing up the earth, and biting it.' 'Can he climb?' 'Oh, admirably.' 'Toby, what shall we do?' 'Why, unless you wish to go and look at him, we had better go on. It is getting late. But do not hurry so, Jack, nor make jerking movements. If he should come out, take no notice of him, or look at him kindly - do not provoke him. He is not a froward puma, I believe.

'How can you be so provokingly calm, Jack?' cried Tobias, in strong agitation. 'The New World, Brazil, another continent! The home of the jaguar, the tapir, the capybara, the vampire - the true, the genuine vampire, Jack...' - gazing earnestly at the western horizon as he spoke. 'I don't care what you say, Toby,' said Jack, steadily insisting upon the point although Tobias flowed on, 'but I will not have vampires in the cabin.'

"'And would you mind changing your slippers, before we come into Melton Mowbray?' 'Slippers?' cried Tobias, gazing first at one foot and then at the other. 'You cannot conceive how barbarous they look,' said Jack. 'List slippers.' 'I am heartily sorry for it, if they offend you,' said Tobias, 'but I have nothing else to put on.' 'Why then,' cried Jack, 'it don't signify.' But from time to time he looked whistfully at his friend's stirrups."
