"I wonder when the moon will be full," says Geoffrey, making this ordinary remark in an everyday tone that does him credit, and speaks well for his kindliness and delicacy of feeling, as well as for his power of discerning character.

Fond of the merry blunderbuss, and all that, and with a decided tendency towards midnight maraudings.".
