It is not easy to describe the personal charm which endeared Sir Alfred Kempe to all who came to know him. His modesty, urbanity and frankness were at once apparent; at the same time his sound sense, and the touch of humour or flash of wit with which he would often enliven a formal conversation, made him singularly attractive.
Ito ay hindi madaling upang ilarawan ang mga personal na alindog na endeared Sir Alfred Kempe sa lahat na nagmula sa kung kanya. Kanyang-loob, kagandahang-asal at katapatan ay nang sabay-sabay maliwanag; sa parehong panahon ng kanyang lohika, at ang hawakan ng katatawanan o flash ng pagpapatawa na kung saan siya ay madalas magpasaya ng isang pormal na pag-uusap, na ginawa sa kanya singularly kaakit-akit.
