Excerpt from The Novels of Charles Lever, Vol. 1: The Martins of Cro' Martin Any uniformity in good or evil would be the death blow to that genteel comedy which goes on around us, and whose highest interest very often centres in the surprises we give ourselves by unexpected lines of action and unlocked-for impulses. As this strange drama unfolded itself before me, it had become a passion with me to watch the actors, and Speculate on what they might do. For this, Florence offered an admirable stage.
