“Wentworth was the very name! Mr. Wentworth was the very man. He had the curacy of Monkford, you know, Sir Walter, some time back, for two or three years. Came there about the year 5 , I take it. You remember him, I am sure.”

“Wentworth? Oh! ay⁠— Mr. Wentworth, the curate of Monkford. You misled me by the term gentleman . I thought you were speaking of some man of property: Mr. Wentworth was nobody, I remember; quite unconnected; nothing to do with the Strafford family. One wonders how the names of many of our nobility become so common.”
