text_original: Lookers on are always rather apt to be fascinated by the spectacle of a man of well recognised strength and force of character playing for the moment the part of an indo  lent trifler. The contrast is charming in a brilliant Prince Hal or such a Sardanapalus as Byron drew. In our own time a considerable amount of the popularity of Lord Palmerston was inspired by the amusing antagonism between his assumed levity and his well  known force of intellect and strength of will.
