Three Men on the Bummel

CHAPTER VII
10/34

To the German all such, with their wilful, untidy ways, are eyesores.

The poplar grows where it is planted, and how it is planted.

It has no improper rugged ideas of its own.

It does not want to wave or to spread itself.

It just grows straight and upright as a German tree should grow; and so gradually the German is rooting out all other trees, and replacing them with poplars.
Your German likes the country, but he prefers it as the lady thought she would the noble savage--more dressed.
