1: The Elliots of Kellynch Hall Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot s character; vanity of person and of situation.... He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy: and the Sir Walter Elliot who united these gifts was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.
