The first distinct sentence was Charlotte's 'Bustle, darling old fellow, you are handsomer than ever!

The next morning before leaving for the racecourse, while adjusting his neck-tie, Richard said: "I fear we shall lose our imbecile pupil up-stairs, Ag. I brought a doctor in to see him last night, and he says he cannot live long."
