Is a gentleman of great learning, attended with a sweet disposition; a lover of the constitution of his country; is beloved by everybody that knows him. Swift. I except one. Macky. He sets up for a critic in conversation, makes jests, and loves to laugh at them; takes a great deal of pains in his office, and is in a fair way of rising at court. Swift.
A true character; but not strong enough by a fiftieth part. Macky. He is a very good manager in his private affairs, which were in disorder when his father died, and is a stanch countryman, fair complexioned, low stature, and 30 years old. Swift. He is crooked; he seemed to me to be a gentleman of good sense and good nature, Macky.
Bessie had promised Macky that some rainy day she would make a tour of the house and view the pictures, but she had not done it yet, and this room was strange to her. The elder visitors had been once quite familiar with it.
Macky shook her head in melancholy acquiescence. The December days were very long, and the weather wild and stormy both by land and sea. Bessie conjectured sometimes when her uncle Frederick would come home, but it appeared presently that he was not coming.
He is a gentleman of a great deal of wit and good nature, a lover of the ladies, and a pleasant companion. Swift. Of very good nature, but a very moderate capacity. Macky. Swift. He could not properly be called eloquent, but he knew how to prevail on the House with few words and strong reasons. Macky.
On his brothers death he came to the House of Peers, where he never will make any great figure, the sword being more his profession; he is a fair-complexioned man, well shaped, taller than the ordinary size, and a man of honour. Swift. As arrant a scoundrel as his brothers. Macky.
He is a gentleman of a very sweet, easy, affable disposition; of good sense, extremely zealous for the constitution of his country, yet does not seem over forward; keeps an exact unity amongst the officers under him, and encourages them in their duty, through a peculiar familiarity, by which he obliges them, and keeps up the dignity of being master. Swift. A fair character. Macky.
His father was a groom; he was a man of sense, without one grain of honesty. Macky. He hath a very good head, indefatigable and designing; is very zealous for the liberties of the people, makes a good figure in the Parliament, as well as the fleet. Swift. A virulent party man, born in Ireland. Macky.
He is certainly one of the hopefullest gentlemen in England; is very learned, virtuous, and a man of honour; much esteemed in the country, for his generous way of living with the gentry, and his charity to the poorest sort. Swift. This character is fair enough. Macky.
This is right enough, but he has little sincerity. Macky. One of the completest gentlemen in England, hath a very clear understanding, and manly expressions, with abundance of wit. He is brave in his person, much of a libertine, of a middle stature, fair complexion, and 50 years old. Swift. The most universal villain I ever knew. Macky.
