Unflattering portrait Written by Rachel G (10/13/2009 4:06 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, "real humanity and good-nature", penned by Graciela

"...no traits at all unusual in his sex and time of life. He was nice in his eating, uncertain in his hours; fond of his child, though affecting to slight it; and idled away the mornings at billiards, which ought to have been devoted to business.

This line always makes me laugh. It's a pretty unflattering portrait of the generality of young men, isn't it?
