He had treated her as courteously as was in him to do; he chose her out from all the ladies of his acquaintance to make her an honest offer of his hand he had said nothing about his heart; he would, should she marry him, throw her scraps of good-humour, bearish tenderness, drink to her health among his fellows, and respect and admire her even exalt her almost to the rank of a man in his own eyes; and he had the tolerance of the open-hearted and open-handed man.
It was from sincere affection that he sought his acquaintance, though very doubtful as to the reception he might meet, and was both delighted and surprised at such unembarrassed, open-hearted affection. The uncle and nephew were not made to understand each other.
Lady Arabella had a pride in her son, though he was by no means her favourite child. He was, however, the heir of Greshamsbury, of which fact she was disposed to make the most, and he was also a fine gainly open-hearted young man, who could not but be dear to any mother.
His name was 'Andy'. I forget his other name, if he really had one. The Boss had no head for figures. Andy might have been twenty-five or thirty-five, or anything in between.

Here's my girl a charming girl she is; but knowing nothing of the world self-willed, romantic, open-hearted, imprudent beyond conception; do not listen to any of the foolish things she says to you.
