The Rich Boy
"Old people and young people liked him and trusted him, and mothers felt safe when their daughters were in his charge, for he had a way, when he came in the room, of putting himself on a footing with the oldest and most conservative people there. 'You and I,' he seemed to say, 'we're solid. We understand.'
He had an instinctive and rather charitable knowledge of the weaknesses of men and women, and, like a priest, it made him the more concerned for the maintenance of outward forms."
The Rich Boy
