Read the passage below carefully and then answer the question.

call him Lieutenant General Lord Arthur Scoresby.
I can not describe my excitement when I saw this great and famous man. There he sat. The man himself, in person, all covered with medals. I could not take my
eyes off him. He seemed to show the true mark of greatness. His fame had no effect on him.
The hundreds of eyes watching him, the worship of so many people did not seem to make any difference to him.
Next to me sat a clergyman, who was an old friend of mine. He was not always a clergyman. During the first half of his life, he was a teacher in the military school at
Woolwich. There was a strange look in his eye as he leaned toward me and whispered, "Privately-he is a complete fool." He meant, of course, the hero of our
dinner
This came as a shock to me. I looked hard at sky friend. I could not have been more surprised if he had said the same thing about Napoleon, or Socrates, or

hero as soon as I could
