red-cheeked and irascible, and that all Englishwomen had great teeth and enormous feet;
also that readers of English literature might
imagine that all Frenchmen were like monkeys, and all Frenchwomen were sad coquettes. In the same way many American
young people believe that all Englishmen say
"Don't you know" and all Englishwomen
constantly ejaculate: "Fancy!" Also that
every Englishman wears a monocle. In the
same way, the young English person, from
reading the cheap novels of his own country,
might well form the concept of all Americans
as long-legged, chin-whiskered and big-nosed,
saying "Waal, I want to know;" "I reckon,"
and "Du tell;" while they tilted themselves
back in a chair with their feet on the mantelpiece. The concept of a Western man, entertained by the average Eastern person who has
never traveled further West than Buffalo, is
equally amusing. In the same way, we have
known Western people who formed a concept
of Boston people as partaking of a steady and
continuous diet of baked beans and studiously
reading Browning and Emerson between
these meals.
