What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Gordon's journals are splendid, I delight in an eccentric man upsetting the odds which routine, formality, "Foreign" and other offices always have on their side, and making the latter appear ridiculous." in the context of "Letter to his sister, Mary Elcho (25 July 1885), quoted in Letters of George Wyndham 1877–1913, Vol. I (1915), p. 96" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
