It is impossible that one as manly, as upright, as honest I will say, as yourself, can have lived so long in close intimacy with Rupert, and not be aware that he has marked defects of character."

Even Rupert Venner and his friends, shivering with the wet and sudden change from the cabin to the deck though they were, found much to soothe them in the glorious sweep and swing of the Feu Follette; much to admire and envy in the perfect poise and sang froid of the magnificent creature at the wheel.

'The company there present, are, I believe, honoured with due mention of Sir Edward Merton and family, said Rupert; 'but I am speaking of another part of the paper where Miss Merton is especially noted, alone in her glory. 'In what paper did you say, Rupert? said Lady Merton. 'The Abbeychurch Reporter, said he. 'Mr. Higgins's paper! said Anne.
