I only quoted my Aunt because she

They are great big men who look so fine on horseback, as peoplemust have done, I think, in the days of the great wars. Say whatyou like against them--they are animal, they are unintellectual;they don't read themselves, and they don't want others to read,but they are some of the finest and the kindest human beings onthe face of the earth! You would be surprised at some of the storiesI could tell. You have never guessed, perhaps, at all the romancesthat go on in the heart of the country. There are the people, I feel,among whom Shakespeare will be born if he is ever born again. 　　In those old houses, up among the Downs--""My Aunt," Hirst interrupted, "spends her life in East Lambethamong the degraded poor. I only quoted my Aunt because she isinclined to persecute people she calls 'intellectual,' which iswhat I suspect Miss Vinrace of doing. It's all the fashion now. 　　If you're clever it's always taken for granted that you're completelywithout sympathy, understanding, affection--all the things thatreally matter. Oh, you Christians! You're the most conceited,patronising, hypocritical set of old humbugs in the kingdom! Of course,"he continued, "I'm the first to allow your country gentlemen great merits. 　　For one thing, they're probably quite frank about their passions,which we are not. My father, who is a clergyman in Norfolk,says that there is hardly a squire in the country who does not--""But about Gibbon?" Hewet interrupted. The look of nervous tensionwhich had come over every face was relaxed by the interruption. 　　"You find him monotonous, I suppose. But you know--" He openedthe book, and began searching for passages to read aloud, and ina little time he found a good one which he considered suitable. 　　But there was nothing in the world that bored Ridley more than beingread aloud to, and he was besides scrupulously fastidious as tothe dress and behaviour of ladies. In the space of fifteen minuteshe had decided against Mrs. Flushing on the ground that her orangeplume did not suit her complexion, that she spoke too loud, that shecrossed her legs, and finally, when he saw her accept a cigarettethat Hewet offered her, he jumped up, exclaiming something about"bar parlours," and left them. Mrs. Flushing was evidently relievedby his departure. She puffed her cigarette, stuck her legs out,and examined Helen closely as to the character and reputationof their common friend Mrs. Raymond Parry. By a series of littlestrategems she drove her to define Mrs. Parry as somewhat elderly,by no means beautiful, very much made up--an insolent old harridan,in short, whose parties were amusing because one met odd people;but Helen herself always pitied poor Mr. Parry, who was understoodto be shut up downstairs with cases full of gems, while hiswife enjoyed herself in the drawing-room. "Not that I believewhat people say against her--although she hints, of course--"Upon which Mrs. Flushing cried out with delight: 　　"She's my first cousin! Go on--go on!"When Mrs. Flushing rose to go she was obviously delighted withher new acquaintances. She made three or four different plansfor meeting or going on an expedition, or showing Helen the thingsthey had bought, on her way to the carriage. She included themall in a vague but magnificent invitation.
