His very austerity of manner, tempered by stately courtesy, added to the respect he inspired, especially as he could now and then relax into gaiety, and, when he did so, his smile was accounted singularly sweet.

In one respect, however, he had gained, unfortunately, no good from his intercourse with the old sailors.
