I am 40 and have been going out with a sweet man for the last two years.
He was a professor of astronomy and a sweet man, though very thin.
"Who would think such a sweet man as your father could be so cruel?"
"How could I possibly get into trouble working for a sweet little old man like that?"
Also for the sweet young man; he was of such help.
Then, others might understand the plight of a sweet, beloved old man.
"And what does that dear, sweet man have to say for himself?"
He was a sweet man with a caring heart and a spirit for life.
Almost everyone describes him as a quiet, kind, sweet man.
He is no longer the mild, sweet man she knew.
