"You do yourself great injustice," said the merciless monitor "you have contrived, by what I saw and have since heard, to exhibit in the course of one evening a happy display of all the various masterly qualifications which distinguish your several cousins; the gentle and generous temper of the benevolent Rashleigh, the temperance of Percie, the cool courage of Thorncliff, John's skill in dog-breaking, Dickon's aptitude to betting, all exhibited by the single individual, Mr.
