From his pictures he appears to be swarthy, with black hair and sparkling eyes. But he was really very fair and had blue eyes. They were deep-set and piercing, though sometime clouded by melancholy. He had a broad forehead which was lined with wrinkles by the time he was thirty. His mouth was well-cut and his chin prominent. He had a deep voice, but his speech was halting and often trembled with emotion as he spoke passionately of what interested him. At times he was friendly, but more often he was ungracious and reserved. He was of medium height, broad-shouldered, and sturdy. When seated he seemed much taller than he really was. He was very restless; he had inherited from his native land the mountaineer’s passion for walking and climbing, and a love of travel which remained with him nearly to his death.

When we do not know the complete facts about a story, we must be careful not to draw conclusion. That may not be true. We tend to tell stories if all the facts are not known, but in the case of the Van Hilarys’ Dinner, has there been any proof that the dinner was for charity?
