Gallantry

According to the Meriam-Webster dictionary is an act of marked courtesy, courteous attention to a lady, or amorous attention or pursuit. This word appears in the short story “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Gaspell along with line “”And yet,” said he, with the gallantry of a young politician.” Now knowing the meaning of “Gallantry” I can interpret that it means he resembles a young politician in a courteous way as he talks.
