I put my father last, because he was not so well connected as my mother, and my grandmother first, because she was the most nobly-born person of the three.

I have been, am still, and may continue to be, a Rogue; but I hope I am not abandoned enough yet to forget the respect that is due to rank.

On this account, I trust, nobody will show such want of regard for my feelings as to expect me to say much about my mother's brother.

That inhuman person committed an outrage on his family by making a fortune in the soap and candle trade.

I apologize for mentioning him, even in an accidental way.
