Very interesting indeed. //Mr. Wickham was, or is, exactly the sort of man who does make a success of political elections…. [H]e is made for Parliamentary life. And he owes his success to two qualities, both exhibited in the novel in which he figures. First, the talent for telling a lie by telling half of the truth. And second, the art of telling a lie not loudly and offensively but with an appearance of gentlemanly and graceful regret…. [The politician’s] power consists…in getting [people] to be content with his sketchy and superficial version of the real state of things. //
