after-dinner speaker

A new thing this for Old Parliamentary Hand to serve as after-dinner speaker.

Orme knew of him as a clever after-dinner speaker, a man who could, 39 when he so desired, please greatly by his personal charm.

He was a good extemporaneous after-dinner speaker and a warm personal friend of Csar, though differing from him politically.

He soon acquired a reputation as a ready and brilliant after-dinner speaker, and in that capacity figured at many public banquets.

The only good after-dinner speaker is the man who likes to speak, and the man who likes to speak is always apt to speak too much.
