Literature, art, and that vast diversity of topics which are loosely embraced under the general name of social science upon all these he had something fresh to say, and he said it invariably with attractiveness and effect. It mattered little what he set out to talk about, the talk was sure to be full both of instruction and entertainment.
To attractiveness in delivery must be added, if people are to be kept in audience, an attractiveness in treatment; here, again, the method of success is to let Nature have her way. Let the preacher permit himself to devote all his gifts to the setting forth of his theme.
The attractiveness and charm which everybody seems to have found in him had perhaps the same origin. It does not appear that his nature was peculiarly sympathetic, that it was through any unusual flow and warmth of feeling toward others that he so quickly became the object of their attachment or regard.

The liriodendron is more fortunate than some other trees, for it has several points of attractiveness.

It is large, but not in any way coarse, and is thrust forth as the tree grows, in a peculiarly pleasing way.
Older than she, almost forty, but having preserved all the attractiveness of youth, a black moustache, a vigorous, yet graceful figure, eyes still bright, charming and wide-awake, Monjardin, without knowing it, had conquered Zézé. This had come about in a rather curious manner.
In his voice is the soft melodious lilt of the Welsh that greatly adds to the attractiveness of his speech. Before the public he is always even-tempered and amiable, serene and smiling, quick to capitalize interruption and drive home the chance remark.
