He smokes round the garden, but with what perfect grace! This is the man Uncle Hobson, and your poor dear papa, have represented to us as a species of bear! Mr.Newcome, who has himself the ton of a waiter! The Colonel is perfect.

What can Barnes mean by ridiculing him?
I wish Barnes had such a distinguished air; but he is like his poor dear papa.

Que voulez-vous, my love?
The Newcomes are honourable: the Newcomes are wealthy: but distinguished--no.

I never deluded myself with that notion when I married your poor dear papa.
At once I pronounce Colonel Newcome a person to be in every way distinguished by us.

On our return to London I shall present him to all our family: poor good man! let him see that his family have some presentable relations besides those whom he will meet at Mrs.Newcome's, in Bryanstone Square.
