“That sort of person!”

Charlie went to bed with the phrase ringing in his horror-struck ears. If to be the most beautiful, the most charming, and the most refined, the daintiest, the wittiest and prettiest, the kindest and the sweetest, the merriest and most provoking creature in the whole world [...] why, the world was not fit to live in, and he no true Merceron! For the Merceron men had always pleased themselves.
