The Dukes of Omnium had always been big people.
But still it might be his duty to say a word to the Duke.

Sir Orlando assured himself that if ever convinced of the propriety of doing so, he could say a word even to the Duke of Omnium.

"I am confident that we should not go on quite as we are at present," said Sir Timothy as he closed the conversation.
"Where did they pick him up ?" said the Major to the Captain, pointing with his head to Ferdinand Lopez, who was shooting with Angelica Thrift and Mr.Boffin and one of the Duke's private secretaries.
"The Duchess found him somewhere.

He's one of those fabulously rich fellows out of the City who make a hundred thousand pounds at a blow.
They say his people were grandees of Spain." "Does anybody know him ?" asked the Major.
"Everybody soon will know him," answered the Captain.

"I think I heard that he's going to stand for some place in the Duke's interest.
He don't look the sort of fellow I like; but he's got money and he comes here, and he's good looking,--and therefore he'll be a success." In answer to this the Major only grunted.
