text_original: Like Fox, he was a bad hater, but, unlike Fox, he had not a heart to love. He was fond of books, and of wine, and of women ; he was a great drinker of wine, even for those days of deep drink. Beneath all the apparent energy and daring of his character there lay a voluptuous love of ease and languor. He was not a lazy man, but his inclination was always to be an indolent man.
