But perhaps it was not so much the gift as the manner of giving which Swift scorned. We cannot tell. Soon after Jonathan left college he went to live in the house of Sir William Temple. Temple was a great man in his day. He had been an Ambassador, the friend of kings and princes, and he considered himself something of a scholar. To him Swift acted as a kind of secretary. To / a proud man the post of secretary or chaplain in a great house was, in those days, no happy one. It was a position somet...hing between that of a servant and a friend, and in it Swift's haughty soul suffered torments. Sir William, no doubt, meant to be kind, but he was cold and condescend- ing, and not a little pompous and conceited. Swift's fierce pride was ready to fancy insults where none were meant, he resented being "treated like a schoolboy, " and during the years he passed in Sir William's house he gathered a store of bitterness against the world in his heart. But in spite of all his miseries real or imaginary, Swift had at least one pleasure.
