The rest have no characteristics at all. But ah! shall I forget thee, the beautiful Louise!—the affianced of Gottlob, the blonde, the coquettish, and the gay! And you think the sentiment “so pretty and poetical!” And so it is; but we dunderheads in England have used the word so often that we have half forgotten its meaning.
What a fool I had been to ask for long leave and come ashore like this, to curry favour with a set of stubborn dunderheads who cared nothing for me or Polly, and could not or would not understand how important it was to the best interests of the Service that I should get that promotion which alone would send me back to her an eligible wooer!
"It will not only suit me better, but you cannot fail to see that it is the only practicable way for me to operate with my present very limited resources. If I had a dozen good men and true, not such dunderheads as your officer captured in the Magnolia, I should be able to proceed in a more orderly and regular manner.
We are all gapin' with amazement over this mornin's news. Is it really true? Are we to congratulate?"

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. In the whole United States there is scarcely one among them who stands forth as a man of sense and information.
"Albert, there are plenty of dunderheads and duffers like me in the country who are good for nothing better than cannonfodder. Let them go and be killed.
He raised a quick hand to the group about the table. "Gott im Himmel!" he said excitedly. "Listen, you dunderheads!" Silence fell on the group. Every glance was turned to him. He hummed softly a few bars of sweetest melody under the garden's din.... The notes stopped in a choking gasp, Schubert's hand on his throat. "Stop that!" he said hoarsely.
Never had the navy been so crippled and the people, presaging correctly a forthcoming invasion, suffered a new series of terrors which was only relieved by the news of the Russian landings on the California coast at Cambria, San Simeon and Big Sur.
