And now, what you've all been waiting for....the backstory.

"Lord Mitchell was not a pleasant man.
Some would say he was arrogant, while a few also included words such as "pompous" and "condescending", (as well as a few other choice, colorful, words that shall not be mentioned here for the sake of the ladies and well behaved children.)....
Indeed, for he wasn't a pleasant man. He was grumpy at everything and disdainful of everyone so it would seem. This list of "Things and people that annoyed, irked, and irritated him", included, (and not necessarily in this order):

* Chatty, Frivolous, women.
* Housecats.
* Spaniards.
* Flat Beer.
* Anything and anyone related to "France".
* The Dutch.
* Small, noisy, children.
* Well, children of all ages more or less.
* The Portuguese.
* Weak wines.
* The colonists in "The Americas".
* Overcooked vegetables.
* Undercooked vegetables.
* Slow delivery of his goods to market, thus possibly robbing him of greater profit.
* Small, yapping dogs.
* Slow, plodding, servants and field hands.
* Nosy, meddling, busy-bodies (usually older women), who he believes are intent upon meddling into his affairs, (personal and business), and thus robbing him of greater profit.
* Taxes. etc.
And so on....and so on.....

And let's NOT EVEN mention "The Irish" to him now shall we?

Yes, Lord Mitchell is indeed, NOT a pleasant man.
Effective and efficient in whatever he sets his mind to? Yes.
Charming to those he is around? Only when he needs to be. "
