Description

Excerpt from Sketches From Life, by the Late Laman Blanchard, Vol. 3 of 3: With a Memoir of the Author He never bottled up his best things, to uncork them in a more brilliant company the next night; he was never dull because he was expected to shine, and never, by laborious efforts to shine, succeeded in showing that dulness was his forte. He pleased everybody because he was pleased himself; and he was himself pleased, because he could not help it. Many queer-looking young men sang better, but nobody sang with such promptness and good taste; many awkward gawkies danced with more exactness and care, but nobody danced so easily to himself or so acceptably to his partner; many handsome dashing fellows were more showy and imposing in their manners, but none produced the agreeable effect that followed a few words of his, or one Of his joyous laughs; nay, even a kind and sprightly glance. The elaborate, and long-meditated impromptu of the reputed wit fell still-born; while one of Jack' s un studied gay-hearted sallies burst like a rocket, and showered sparkles over the room.
