Mrs. Delany and a few other great ladies remained faithful, but they were in a small minority. It was evidently the younger generation who were in opposition; Mrs. Delany alludes to them as "the Goths the fine ladies, the petits maitres and the ignoramuses," and seemed surprised that they allowed the oratorio to be performed without making a disturbance.

"Tusk tusk!" said the good man, "what ignoramuses you travellers are! You affect to know what kind of slippers Prester John wears and to have been admitted to the bed-chamber of /the Pagoda of China/; and yet, when one comes to sound you, you are as ignorant of everything a man of real learning knows as an Englishman is of his missal.

So the wind carried them near an island, where however they did not dare at first to land, but entered about a mile off.

"Everybody thinks with us," said Mr. X , puffing at his cigar. "It is only ignoramuses who deny this man's courage and ability. I have never done injustice to Daniel and I call that 'liberal' in myself, colonel!

"You might have told her that scandal isn't history, that history never was made in such places. As for the people who live there now, they're certainly not worth while the same pretentious ignoramuses that used to live there, except they no longer have fangs."
Beside this, foreigners will always insist on carrying their home-habits with them wherever they go, and it is exceedingly difficult to persuade any one that he does not understand the climate better than the Italians themselves, whom he puts down as a poor set of timid ignoramuses. However, the longer one lives in Rome, the more he learns to value the Italian rules of health.
There is a society here formed upon that principle; the landlady says they are philosophers!" At the word "philosophers" Kenelm's crest rose as that of a practised hunter at the cry of "Yoiks! Tally-ho!" "Philosophers!" said he, "philosophers indeed! O ignoramuses, who do not even know the structure of the human tooth!
