My Husband

I came across this quote today in a book I'm reading. I thought this young woman's description of this particular gentlemen reflected my first impressions of my husband and it so true of his personality! Tell me if you think so too, and if you can identify who this quote is actually about. I'll post the answer in a few days.
He impresses me as a remarkable kind of man...and has a way of taking for granted that everybody agrees with him when he expresses an opinion... yet he is most agreeable and has a peculiarly sweet voice and a winning manner of asserting himself. The fact is, he is the kind of person I should expect to rescue one from a mad dog at any risk, but to insist upon a stoical indifference to the fright afterward.

Jeff Kline made a comment on my Facebook page about who your quote was about! Did he tell you? Don't tell the world until you reach him! Call me!

Alright, Jeff, go ahead and make your guess! I'll give a hint, this is in a book by Shelby Foote. . .

Ps. If you do comment or follow her please don't tell her I posted on your site it would take away from the encouragement part.
