His character is an admirable combination of dignity and charm, and all the duties of his station are performed quietly and without fuss. He gives everyone the conviction that he speaks as he believes, and acts as he judges right. Bewilderment or timidity are unknown to him; he is never hasty, never dilatory; nothing finds him at a loss. He indulges neither in despondency nor forced gaiety, nor has anger or jealousy any power over him. Kindliness, sympathy, and sincerity all contribute to give the impression of a rectitude that is innate rather than inculcated. Nobody is ever made by him to feel inferior, yet none could presume to challenge his pre-eminence. He is also the possessor of an agreeable sense of humor.
