He was a big, handsome fellow, with a little ugly soul.

He was always wanting something till he got it, and then he stopped wanting it--just like a man.

Oh, he didn't growl at the weather when it was fine, and he was mostly real pleasant and agreeable when everything went right.

He wasn't fit for Leslie to wipe her feet on, that's the long and short of it.
