But I've had a jolly time of it, masquerading as a titled gentleman.

What a comedy! How the fools kotowed and simpered while I looked over their jewels and speculated upon how much I could get for them! But I had my code.

I never pilfered in the houses of my hosts.
I set a fine trap for that simple young man down-stairs, and he fell into it, head-first.

Trust an Englishman of his sort to see nothing beyond his nose.

I'm off.
