Though not naturally jovial, he forced himself to appear so, laughing loud with the squires, and entering heartily with their wives and daughters into such topics as county-balls and croquet-parties; and when after dinner he had, Cato-like, 'warmed his virtue with wine, the virtue came out very lustily in praise of good men, namely, men of his own party, and anathemas on bad men, namely, men of the other party.
