"I, you know, am one of your brother's stern Mentors. There are three or four of us determined to make him a pattern young legislator. Miss Cassewary is another. Only she is not quite so stern as I am." "He ought to be very much obliged." "But he is not, not a bit. Are you, Lord Silverbridge?" "Not so much as I ought to be, perhaps."
