An excellent man: fine, generous, cordial, unselfish, a man of fine and original mind, of lovable nature, of blemishless character, a sterling and steadfast friend through all weathers, a man of gracious dreams, of radiant visions, of splendid enthusiasms, colossal enthusiasms, an optimist in the zenith of whose soul the sun always shines, a magnified and ennobled Col. Sellers, a charming man -- indeed, a perfect man -- with that one defect. Just that one defect: that he can imitate the truth so that the Recording Angel himself would set it down in his book -- and just as like as not reject statements of mine. Edit them, anyway. It is a wonderful and beautiful gift. I wish I had it.
