Answer:

As charismatic and good-natured, yet unsuccessful.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Model Millionaire by Oscar Wilde is a story about Hughie Erskins, a man who is charming and handsome, but has failed to develop a successful career. Wilde describes Hughie Erskins as, “But then he was wonderfully good-looking, with his crisp brown hair, his clear-cut profile, and his grey eyes.”

Hughie tries working as a merchant and a stock market broker, but fails to succeed as either. Hughie falls in love with Laura, the daughter of a retired colonel, Colonel Merton. Although, the colonel likes Hughie, he demands that Hughie earn a fortune of 10,000 pounds before proceeding with an engagement to his daughter.
