500 Words XX - This Week's Sentence

For the last 500 Words assignment before Christmas I have lazily succumbed to the obvious and taken the sentence from Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'.

The sentence is:
'Really, for a man who had been out of practice for so many years, it was a splendid laugh, a most illustrious laugh.'

Have fun with it.
