"He had played many roles in his lifetime, off-camera and on-; the slender playboy of Our Blushing Brides had become a no-longer-slender country squire, but the grace of the performer remained what it had always been:  a prompting to merriment, an occasion for applause."  **

You are missed, Mr. Montgomery.  The smile.  Ah, yes, the smile.  Thanks for sharing.
