I don't think, however, that these persons are commonly fools.

I have known a number, and all of them were intelligent.

I think nothing conveys the idea of UNDERBREEDING more than this self-betraying smile.

Yet I think this peculiar habit as well as that of MEANINGLESS BLUSHING may be fallen into by very good people who met often, or sit opposite each other at table.

A true gentleman's face is infinitely removed from all such paltriness,--calm-eyed, firm-mouthed.
