macadamisers

Updated: June 20, 2025

Though there are few provincialisms, and all classes of the people use the same words except the words of foreign origin, which are used only by the upper classes the peasant always speaks in a more laconic and more idiomatic way than the educated man. In the winter months travelling is in some respects pleasanter than in summer, for snow and frost are great macadamisers.
