Excerpt from The Life of Frederick Lucas, Vol. 1 of 2 And vigour. His smile was the sweetest, his laugh the most exhilarating, that I have met with; and the shyness mentioned above soon wore off in the company of young men, and was replaced: by an easy gaiety of demeanour that was delightful to all his associates. Long afterwards, however, he remained silent and reserved in the presence of strangers, and seldom addressed a lady Without blushing. There was, indeed, a bashfulness, an almost girlish modesty about him, which. Strikingly contrasted with the strength and manliness of his character, and with that dauntless courage for which he was at all times distinguished. When he began to speak, he at once commanded attention. Even at that early age he had acquired a large amount of miscellaneous knowledge, and had learned to express original views in fluent and for cible language. But his conversation. Was, perhaps, chiefly characterised by a constant flow of rich and genial humour, which held on its course so natur ally, and with so little effort, that the listener was carried away imperceptibly by it, and caught the joyous contagion almost before he was aware of it.
