What do the following lines, spoken by the Prince of Wales to Marguerite, reveal about Sir Percy ? "Blakeney, not content with being the richest among my fathers subjects, has also the most outrageous luck. By the way, where is the imitable wit?"

This quote introduces the reader to a Percy we haven't met. Seeing Lord Percy through the eyes of the Prince of Wales makes us wonder who this man really is. We don't picture a lucky, carefree man with a great sense of humor and quick wit. We see the same man Marguerite sees, the man who hides behind sarcasm.
