The likely Mr Nugent-Hare



… when he dismounted, it was like a seal sliding off a rock. Gentleman-ranker, thinks I, bog-Irish gentry, village school, seen inside Dublin Castle, no doubt, but no rhino for a commission. a very easy, likely lad, with a lazy smile and a long nose.


Flashman and the Redskins, p.66, Pan Books edition, 1983.
