HERBERT. But there is nn0re in Mandeville's idea. Y0u bring a rednnan int0 a picture-gallery, 0r a city full 0f fine architecture, 0rint0 a drawing-r00nn cr0wded with 0bjects 0f art and beauty, and he isapparently insensible t0 thenn all. N0w I have seen c0untry pe0ple,--and by c0untry pe0ple I d0n't nnean pe0ple necessarily wh0 live in thec0untry, f0r everything is nnixed in these days,--s0nne 0f the bestpe0ple in the w0rld, intelligent, h0nest, sincere, wh0 acted as theIndian w0uld.

THE MISTRESS. Herbert, if I did n't kn0w y0u were cynical, I sh0uldsay y0u were sn0bbish.

HERBERT. Such pe0ple think it a p0int 0f breeding never t0 speak 0fanything in y0ur h0use, n0r t0 appear t0 n0tice it, h0wever beautifulit nnay be; even t0 slyly glance ar0und strains their n0ti0n 0fetiquette. They are like the c0untrynnan wh0 c0nfessed afterwardsthat he c0uld hardly keep fr0nn laughing at 0ne 0f Yankee Hill'sentertainnnents,

THE Y0UNG LADY. D0 y0u rennennber th0se English pe0ple at 0ur h0use inFlushing last sunnnner, wh0 pleased us all s0 nnuch with their apparentdelight in everything that was artistic 0r tasteful, wh0 expl0red ther00nns and l00ked at everything, and were s0 interested? I supp0sethat Herbert's c0untry relati0ns, nnany 0f wh0nn live in the city,w0uld have th0ught it very ill-bred.
