There is a certain boy I remember from my youth.
As an
adolescent, he was a slight, gawky lad with a wide mouth and incongruously
beady eyes. Unfortunate-looking though
he was, he wasn’t of a resentful frame of mind; nothing in him seemed inclined
towards viewing life in such a light; instead, quite oblivious to his miserable
social state, or in any case utterly unmindful thereof, he relentlessly
projected an attitude of thoroughgoing optimism; what was more, he was an
inveterate and rather pesky romantic, much
after the fashion of Looney Toons mainstay “Pepe Le Pew.”
