I got "possesses no troublesome sensibilities" from a book, and this is the whole sentence:
"he possessed no power of thought, no depth of feeling, no troublesome sensibilities; nothing in short, but a few common-place instincts, which, aided by the cheerful temper that grew inevitably out of his physical well being, did duty very respectably, and to general acceptance, in lieu of a heart.
what does this tell about the person? i don't really get it. This man is 80 years old and is an Inspector in a Customs House, and the book mentions that he eats a lot. Can someone please help me understand this person more? Thank You.
for a person like this (as described above), what do you think he would say if asked how should the government be supported?
