didn't talk about the method by which relief should be given. At least, that's not my memory. If Wallace, for instance, had something to say about a plan for the relief of the distressed farmers, it went in one ear and out the other so far as I was concerned.

I liked Ickes almost from the start. He set his teeth very firmly, but he had that kind of a face. I remember looking at him and thinking that he had a very Anglo-Saxon face and that he obviously belonged to the Saxons, and not to the Normans, in English background. You could see him standing with Robin Hood's men, and not with the Norman lords. He looked like the kind of man who would be on Robin Hood's band of Anglo-Saxon men. It was like that good old speech, “I look into your good Saxon faces...” He had one of the “good Saxon faces” that Shakespeare referred to. He had, of course, that pursed-up mouth. It was not that he had a heavy jaw. It was just that the fleshy part of the lips pressed themselves into a kind of a determined pout. That was his face in repose that would have that. When he laughed, he had as laughing a face as I ever knew. He could laugh more heartily than most people can, and with a deeper involvement of all parts of his body in his laughter.
