The true secret was this, which Randal might well not divine, since that young person, despite his ancient birth, his Eton rearing, and his refined air, was not one of Nature's gentlemen ; the true secret was, that Audley Egerton moved, looked, and spoke like a thorough gentleman of England. A gentleman of more than average talents and of long experience, speak- ing his sincere opinions not a rhetorician aiming at effect. Moreover, Egerton was a consummate man of the world. He said, with nervou...s simplicity, what his party desired to be said, and put what his opponents felt to be the strong points of the case.
