Quick Thinker

Fellow 6., swell but eccentric--a cynic, quick thinker, unusual sense of humor--innate idealism; Fellow 7., friendly and hard working . . . no originality or wit . . . doesn't talk much;

Fellow 8., hardworking, quiet sort without any particular vices--uninteresting; Fellow 9., extremely pleasant and likeable fellow; Fellow 10., jovial, genial, all around person . . . most hospitable; Fellow 11., quick mind revelling in sophism . . . ardent punster;
