ENGLISH GOOD MANNERS
Go to England to see what is meant by good manners. They say this is nice, that is nice. Everything seems to them nice enough. Strange to say. however, it is those who use the word most that do not know its meaning. Go along dirty streets of London, and you may pick up any • quantity of “nice.” There is no place where “nice” is sold at such a cheap rate and in such abundance. And what for? Merely to please others! They do not know a person may be offended by being called nice by those who do not know what nice is.—Soseki Natsume in “The New Adelphi.”
