Page 95 - He has not been at an English school, or English university, and therefore is not like other young men that you know; but he is, I think, well educated and clever. As for conceit, what man will do any good who is not conceited? Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who has a low opinion of himself.

That those witnesses had spoken truth he also knew, and yet he had been able to hold them up to the execration of all around them as though they had committed the worst of crimes from the foulest of motives!

Page 208 - I wonder whether you ever think of the old days when we used to be so happy in Keppel Street?' Ah me, how often in after life, in those successful days when the battle has been fought and won, when all seems outwardly to go well, -- how often is this reference made to the happy days in Keppel Street!
