McArthur had an interesting way of talking that in a way flashes out the characters, like those theatre folk who come off stage and still sound like they're on stage when they talk. This is a person who also knows how to use the media of his time. If twitter or any of the other social media outlets had been around in his day, he'd have a billion followers. He was accused of going orientalas as it was called, at one point wearing kimonos around the office,. fanning himself with a japanese fan and smoking from a jewelled cigarette holder. Just an interesting guy all the way around.
