Excerpt from Mr. Cleveland, a Personal Impression

Cleveland was not his greatness - one had anticipated that; but his genial kindliness and his quiet, pervasive hu mor. He even had charm. These char acteristics I, for one, had not anticipated at all. I had pictured him, as many per haps still see him, a gruff, old warrior, resting after his battles, brooding over the past; silent, except when stirred occasionally to pronouncing a poly syllabic profundity; august, austere, a personage difficult to know and im possible to love. I expected to admire him, but it never occurred to me that one might like him; still less that he might care to be liked by those among whom he had cast his lot.
