Excuse my running on in this way.

When I once begin to talk of Nugent, I don't know when to leave off." One thing, at any rate, was plainly discernible in this otherwise inscrutable young man.

He adored his twin-brother.
It would have been equally clear to me that Mr.Nugent Dubourg deserved to be worshipped, if I could have reconciled to my mind his leaving his brother to shift for himself in such a place as Dimchurch.

I was obliged to remind myself of the admirable service which he had rendered at the trial, before I could decide to do him the justice of suspending my opinion of him, in his absence.

Having accomplished this act of magnanimity, I took advantage of the first opportunity to change the subject.
