RECKLESS

"The reckless generosity and sanguine improvidence of Fielding were shocking to the moralists of his own time, and there can be no question that he had something of the wildness of Tom Jones in his youth. But he was a man of elevated and tender feeling,quixotically courageous, full of love for his fellow-beings, and always ready to share his last guinea with a poorer man than himself."
