Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know. They are not beautifull: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religeous; they are only pew-renters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly... They are not prosperous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only servile. Not dutifull, only sheepish; not obstinate, not masterfull; only domineering: not self controlled; only obtuse: not self-considerate; only polite: not intelligent; only opiniated... Not just, only vindicitive; not diciplined, only cowed: and not truthfull at all; Liars every one of them, to the very backbones of their souls.
