"He certainly seemed to have made the most of his considerable assets.
He was brilliant ... He was handsome ... And Ted was physically strong ...
He was slender, but he was whipcord tough.

"I never saw any anger at all.  I cannot remember everything that Ted
and I talked about, try as I might, but I do know we never argued.
Ted's treatment of me was the kind of old-world gallantry that he
invariably showed toward any woman I ever saw him with, and
I found it appealing."
