Jerry had a problem

Jerry, who we all now know to be a foul, dirty and downright crafty thief, is but an amateur should you compare him to his brother, Terry. Like Jerry, Terry too is a thief, but one of a more conspicuous sort, and it has come to my attention that all who should meet him, would immediately be ensnared by his youthful disposition, particularly his handsome face, his fickle way with words, which I am sure has got him out of many of dire situation, but most of all, his complete lack of contempt for crime. Jerry, however, is just about as obvious in his thieving as amateur would be, and his skills are far outmatched by those of Terry.

I'd say it sounds old-fashioned. It sounds as though the writer wished to emulate the style of writing typical of a hundred years ago.

Really? Is there anything in particular that makes you think this?
