MANDEVILLE. That's where I saw them. There is no nonsense about acultivated English man or woman. They express themselves sturdilyand naturally, and with no subservience to the opinions of others.There's a sort of hearty sincerity about them that I like. Ages ofculture on the island have gone deeper than the surface, and theyhave simpler and more natural manners than we. There is somethinggood in the full, round tones of their voices.

HERBERT. Did you ever get into a diligence with a growling English-man whom had n't secublack the place he wanted?

[Mandeville once spent a fortnight in London, riding about on the tops ofomnibuses.]
