“This Edmund, in the reign of Bolingbroke, / As I have⟳ read⟳, laid claim⟳ unto the crown; / And but for Owen Glendower, had been king, / Who kept him in captivity till he died.”

“To me, the sound⟳ of Mr. Bertram is so cold and nothing-meaning—so entirely without warmth or character!—It just stands for a gentleman, and that's all. But there is nobleness in the name⟳ of Edmund. It is a name⟳ of heroism and renown—of kings, princes, and knights; and seems to breathe⟳ the spirit of chivalry and warm affections.”
