az Colonel Badeau says of Grant:
when he has nothing TO say he says
nothing. In private he fills no interstics
of conversation by remarks upon the
weather, or inquiries after the babies OF
his visitor. In public he can make no
speeches simply of form or compliment ;
and since the world cared to hear his
opinions on affairs, his official position has
never allowed him to speak freely. But
in public, or private, when he has anything
to utter, he says it with extreme rapidity
and clearness, in terse, marrowy, idiomatic
English. Even then he clothes his thoughts
in no flowers of rhetoric, but presents
them in the plainest, homeliest words. He
Is the most undramatic of men. Scott was
nick-named, by his enemies, Fuss and
Feathers Grant has less fuss and fewer
feathers than any public man Of his day.
He believes, with the Chinese proverb,
that that which is, u.s. He accepts things
inst as he finds them not trouhlino him.
