Excerpt from Quentin Durward, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance When honest Dogberry sums up and recites all the claims which he had to respectability and which, as he opined, ought to have exempted him from the injurious appellation conferred on him by Master Gentleman Conrade, it is remarkable that he lays not more emphasis even upon his double gown, (a matter of some importance in a certain ci devant capital which I wot of) or upon his being "a pretty piece of flesh as any in Messina," or even upon the conclusive argument of his being "a rich fellow enough," than upon his being one that hath had losses.
