All nationalities have come to us since we became a nation, but most of us in the beginning came from England.

We are touching about it, too.

We trifle with France and labour with Germany, we sentimentalise over Italy and ecstacise over Spain--but England we love.

How it moves us when we go to it, how we gush if we are simple and effusive, how we are stirred imaginatively if we are of the perceptive class.

I have heard the commonest little half-educated woman say the prettiest, clumsy, emotional things about what she has seen there.
