Jane Seymour To Charles Dickens

"His conduct calls to mind the lines put into Satan's mind by Milton".

"Get Riches first, get Wealth, and Treasure heap,
Not difficult, if thou hearken to me:
Riches are mine, Fortune is in my hand;
They whom I favour thrive in Wealth amain,
While Virtue, Valour, Wisdom sit in want."
(Paradise Regained.)
