There, raised high on a throne–seated on his typical antelope, with his four arms stretching towards the four corners of the earth–there, soared above us, dark and awful in the mystic light of heaven, the god of the Moon. And there, in the forehead of the deity, gleamed the yellow Diamond, whose splendour had last shone on me in England, from the bosom of a woman’s dress!

When the morning came, your language and conduct showed that you were absolutely ignorant of what you had said and done overnight. At the same time, Miss Verinder’s language and conduct showed that she was resolved to say nothing (in mercy to you) on her side. If Mr. Godfrey Ablewhite chose to keep the Diamond, he might do so with perfect impunity. The Moonstone stood between him and ruin. He put the Moonstone into his pocket.
The mystery has been solved finally, but the ending is not so detective, so that the novel ending is not very attractive. And I also wondered why the author didn't write down enough details to point to Godfrey in the diamond missing night.

I am indebted to my dear parents (both now in heaven) for having had habits of order and regularity instilled into me at a very early age.

What do you think, for instance, of his discussing the lengths to which a married woman might let her admiration go for a man who was not her husband, and putting it in his clear-headed witty French way to the maiden aunt of the Vicar of Frizinghall?
After Godfrey's being refused by Rachel, Franklin behave completely differently at the party. We can judge from his that he has picked up his confidence for pursuing Rachel again.
-
Whether he had been trying to make love to his cousin again, and had got a rebuff–or whether his broken rest, night after night, was aggravating the queer contradictions and uncertainties in his character–I don’t know.
