The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

5.0

"I would take to domestic service tomorrow, Mr. Betteredge, if I had a chance of being employed along with You!"

It might not actually be a stretch to say that Mr. Collins—oh, I can't ever forget putting my 'Mr.'s after reading this book—builds the character of Mr. Betteredge so admirably well that perhaps the reader's wish itself is vicariously spoken through this exclamation by Sergeant Cuff.
