Excerpt from In Rustic England
The Anglo-Saxon temperament may be compared to a thing of steel covered with silk. Very often the silk is so thin as to bring out by contrast the varying quality of the steel just partly veiled by it; but sometimes the silk is so glossy and so thick that casual observers are deceived by it and give no thought at all to the well-tempered metal underneath.
