The American Senator

CHAPTER II
10/18

Wherever he goes he carries his wine with him and his valet and his grooms;--and if he thinks there is anything to fear, his cook also.

He very rarely opens a book.

He is more ignorant than a boy of fifteen with us, and yet he manages to have something to say about everything.

When his ignorance has been made as clear as the sun at noon-day, he is no whit ashamed.

One would say that such a life would break the heart of any man; but upon my word, I doubt whether I ever came across a human being so self-satisfied as this young lord.
I have come down here to support the case of a poor man who is I think being trampled on by this do-nothing legislator.
