"My unhappy cousin is said to be a fairy, ma'am," said Mr. Rossitur; "and I presume all this may be referred to enchantment." "That face of Marie Antoinette's," said Mr. Carleton smiling, "is an undisciplined one uneducated." "Uneducated!" exclaimed Mrs. Carleton.
What one observes is a horde of uneducated and inflammatory dunderheads, eager for power, intolerant of opposition and full of a childish vanity a mob of holy clerks but little raised, in intelligence and dignity, above the forlorn half-wits whose souls they chronically rack.
