e and Duchess of Shoreditch, and their daughter the Lady Anne-Grace-Eleanor-Celeste-and-so-forth-and-so-forth-de-Bohun, the Earl and Countess of Newgate, Viscount Cheapside, Lord and Lady Blatherskite, some untitled people of both sexes, the minister and his wife and daughter, and his daughter's visiting friend, an English girl of twenty-two, named Portia Langham, whom I fell in love with in two minutes, and she with me—I could see it without glasses.

Hope this helps :)


It seems that Mark Twain is mocking the excessively long titles used to address certain nobles in this passage. Because there is no comment on parties, or the significance of Americans/British people, nor unusual behavior by the British elite, the first option is clearly the intended satire.
