English term or phrase: those hearse-chaser of our time...
"...those hearse-chaser of our time, throwing in their 100 guineas' worth of griefmanship".

I'd like to keep the same impressive expression that hearse-chaser and "griefmanship" have in English. Just can't get round it... Many thanks!

Tengo a sottolineare che le lagrime di crocodillo siano proprio quelle considerate da \"cinque aspre\".
