Fielding's Allworthy

It seems to me he talks a talk but does not walk the walk.

A man in a palace sounding like Peter Singer on famine relief.

Well, I suppose that makes sense, after all, since Singer is the poster boy for humbuggery celebrated as a virtue.

Allworthy vs Blifil on benevolence.

Tom Jones, Bk 2, ch 5.
