Quote #10
[Rolls] of not undignified fat had collected near his chin; somewhere above was a wide thin mouth and the rough model for a Roman nose, and, below, his shoulders collapsed without a struggle into the powerful bulk of his chest and belly. (2.5.88)
This description of a rich man paints a picture of wealth and excess. The guy is pretty fat, yet Amory thinks of his fat as kind of dignified. After all, this guy has made a lot of money and if he wants an extra pork chop with supper, who are we to tell him no? Still, there's also a hint of laziness that lurks beneath this man's appearance, and if anything, Amory envies him for it.
