That sounds like swagger envy to me.

Not that W is overly confident or boastfully proud. He's, to quote Jane Austen, possessed of "no improper pride."

"No improper pride"...........PREACH it, Elizabeth!

VERY appropriate comparison, Gretchen. Oft misunderstood qualities in both George and Fitzwilliam. :)
