Страница xlvi - Here in flesh and blood was a truth which I had long believed in words, but never met before. The creature we call a gentleman lies deep in the hearts of thousands that are born without chance to master the outward graces of the type.
Страница xxiv - When in Boston any fellow-citizen paints a picture or writes a book, he is approached and fostered for Boston's sake and in Boston's name. We of Philadelphia steer quite wide of this amiable if hasty encouragement. We seem to distrust our own power to do anything out of the common ; and when a young man tries to, our minds close against him with a civic instinct of disparagement. A Boston failure in art surprises Boston ; it is success that surprises Philadelphia.
