"Superior Dosset," indeed, had built in a dreadful, and Jolyon painted in a doubtful, period, but so far as he remembered not another of them all had soiled his hands by creating anything unless you counted Val Dartie and his horse-breeding. Collectors, solicitors, barristers, merchants, publishers, accountants, directors, land agents, even soldiers there they had been!
In that quiet but tasteful ceremony in Hanover Square, and afterwards among the furniture in Green Street, it had been impossible for those not in the know to distinguish the Forsyte troop from the Mont contingent so far away was "Superior Dosset" now.
The October paragraphs describing the wedding of Fleur Forsyte to Michael Mont hardly conveyed the symbolic significance of this event. In the union of the great-granddaughter of "Superior Dosset" with the heir of a ninth baronet was the outward and visible sign of that merger of class in class which buttresses the political stability of a realm.
Blood surged into Soames' brain, and all his resolution to be guided by this or that left him utterly. The look of his farmer forbears dogged Forsytes down by the sea, from 'Superior Dosset' back grinned out of his face. "Very pretty!" he said. He heard the fellow murmur: "This is hardly the place we'll go to the study, if you don't mind." And they both passed him through the curtain opening.
James and the other eight children of 'Superior Dosset, of whom there are still five alive, may be said to have represented Victorian England, with its principles of trade and individualism at five per cent. and your money back if you know what that means. At all events they've turned thirty thousand pounds into a cool million between them in the course of their long lives.

The country had expanded, as it were, in spite of them. They had checked, controlled, defended, and taken advantage of the process and when you considered how "Superior Dosset" had begun life with next to nothing, and his lineal descendants already owned what old Gradman estimated at between a million and a million and a half, it was not so bad!

And suddenly Soames became conscious of feeling weak, and hot, and shaky. Sheer nerves at the meeting before him! As Aunt Juley might have said quoting "Superior Dosset" his nerves were "in a proper fautigue." He could see the house now among its trees, the house he had watched being built, intending it for himself and this woman, who, by such strange fate, had lived in it with another after all!
