 he was just and fair and broad-minded; never disabling his judgment 

 by surrendering it to the caprices of momentary feeling; his character 

 retained the sterling qualities of his Pilgrim ancestry while it had been 

 softened to a gracious gentleness by the temper of his culture and a 

 cosmopolitanism that had made him conversant with many lands and 

 many men of distinction. But, more than all this, his whole life bore 

 witness to purity and loftiness of soul. And his beautiful face and 

 noble bearing affirmed the inner man — in very truth koXos /cat
