From father to son, inheritance: a ritual; a treasure; a great and ancient house; a seat in Parliament.
Another father, another son: myself. Talents aplenty, but why should I be given the meanest field for their exercise?
Musgrave's mother was an earl's daughter; mine, a Welsh housemaid. His father died honoured, in bed; mine, a thief in his master's cellar.
