We have abundant evidence of the impression of his personality upon life-long friends, and even upon doubtful critics. "He spoke well," says Burnet: "his style had no flaw in it, but had a just mixture of wit and sense, only he spoke too copiously; he had a great pleasantness in his spirit, which carried him sometimes too far into raillery, in which he sometimes showed more wit than discretion."
'Old Schwartz is a very faithful servant, said I, thinking that she resembled the old Warhead in visage. 'A dog's obedience to the master's whims you call faithfulness! Hem! The baroness coughed dryly. I whispered: 'Does Prince Ernest is he aware? 'You are aware, retorted the baroness, 'that what a man idolizes he won't see flaw in. Remember, I am something here, or I am nothing.
Now then, that gem with such a dreadful flaw, Bring it to me.... Ah yes! I now will prove Too soon the surface you did undertake To polish e'er the ugly flaw's removed. Plunge it anew into the precious blood of Jesus, Thus anew the work's begun.... You're wining? My beloved, obedient child, Not many live the prayer, "Thy will be done."

You remember that horrid mirror, in which all good and great things reflected in it became small and mean, while the bad things were magnified, and every flaw became very apparent. Poor Kay! a grain of it had gone straight to his heart, and would soon turn it to a lump of ice.
This must be looked on as a brief holiday, not as a permanent relief. That was the only flaw in his happiness as he stopped the car at the door of the shack, for by now he had succeeded at last in thrusting the image of Ruth from his mind. There was a light in the ground-floor window. He raised his head and shouted: "Steve!" The door opened. "Hello, Kirk. That you? Come along in.
The story is told with unflagging spirit, and shows quick perceptions and a lively feeling for situations. Carol Lester's friendship for Oliver Floyd while she is ignorant of the existence of his wife is a flaw in the pleasantness; but "Upon a Cast" is well worthy of a high place in the list of summer novels.
A sudden flaw of wind, the flap of a sail, an involuntary jerk of the head, often elicited an exclamation of anger or a torrent of invectives from some unfortunate being who had been cruelly rendered bareheaded, attended with a burst of laughter from unsympathizing shipmates.
