Excerpt

Habitually he had a jovial self-reliant manner, and spoke as though his words were not without importance, and as though he expected people to listen to them; but no observant person watching him as he handed round the soup plates and beamed upon the company could have failed to understand that he was by nature simple, honest, and kindly.
