His manner is unaffected and magnetic, his education is evident, and his tastes are nice and quiet, sub-, ject to the relapses peculiar to human nature in the masculine gender. He is just bad enough to be piquant and keep his wife from worrying over the necessity of his dying on account of his goodness.

He dances, sings, fishes, hunts, rows, rides, rollicks, knows theatrical people, catalogues chorus girls for convenience and refers to them by number, and links horns with the Elks.
