"Neither have you or I," interrupted my Critical Friend.
"He has never sinned," I continued, "he has not a single vice, he has not even a fault! And as to his Virtues!"
"What are his Virtues?" asked my Critical Friend.
Then I considered the Virtues of that Great Man and was lost in admiration and amazement. "He is unimpeachably Honest, Trustworthy and True," said I. "He is Humble and Modest even in his Superiority, and has Hope of Improvement; he is Brave in meeting adversity and Patient in bearing it. He is Chaste and Temperate, he is Generous and Unselfish and Self-sacrificing, he is Persevering and Diligent, Faithful and Enduring. He is good."
"Yes?" said my Critical Friend. "What good is he?"
"What good?" said I.
"Yes, what good? What does he do?"
"What do you mean?" I asked. "His business?"
"Of course. What's his business? What does he do in the world?"
"He's a business man," said I, "and a very good business man, if that is what you mean."
