Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches From Life in Town and Country: And Some Verses Townsfolk get their facial muscles pretty well exercised; they have to twitch some sort of greeting to their fellow-cits a hundred times a day. In country people the muscles of expression, from disuse, cease to act, or never get developed at all. Their faces acquire a stolid impervious look, and the town-dweller gets downright mad when, after letting off his best jokes and saying the most surprising things he can think of, the country-man still regards him with unchanged impassive eye, as though he were a cow or a tree. He goes off, spluttering contempt on the rustic´s head. But Hodge is not always such a fool as he looks. I have often been amused by the remarks passed when the man of words was gone. "He seems in a mighty hurry, he do." "Well, dun you see, he´s got such a lot to say, he´s bound to let it out somehow."
