Here's a description of him: 'A pale, thoughtful man, with a remarkably mild eye: is against restraint of lunatics, and against all punishment of them Quixotically so.

Major Muir, who commanded at Brownston, instead of waiting for the attack, quixotically went out to meet his adversaries. The two opposing detachments met at Maguago, a kind of half way place, where a fight began.
But if John Coxeter were incapable of love, she now knew him to be a good friend, and it was the friend so she believed, and was grateful to him for it, who had asked her to accept what he had quixotically supposed would be the shelter of his name when she had done that thing of which he had disapproved. To-night Nan could not help wondering if he would ever again ask her to marry him.
