The make-up of the heavy cavalry should be noted. It has perhaps too many Germans and men from the northern provinces. French sociability creates cohesion in French troops more quickly than could be secured in troops in other nations. Organization and discipline have the same purpose.
In all those months I hardly knew that I had neighbours, although Horace, from whom I rented my place, was not infrequently a visitor. He has since said that I looked at him as though he were a "statute." I was "citified," Horace said; and "citified" with us here in the country is nearly the limit of invective, though not violent enough to discourage such a gift of sociability as his.
Many of their customs too have come down to us; their heavy afternoon teas are recalled in our informal receptions; their New Year's Day sociability in our calls, their Christmas celebrations in our festival of Santa Claus. Much of our domestic architecture reflects their influence: the gabled fronts, the tiled fireplaces, the high "stoops," and the custom of sitting on them in summer evenings.
He had the ambition natural to a man of high powers. With all his genial sociability, he was in a way self-centered. His associates often thought him, and Lamon shares the opinion not only moody and meditative, but unsocial, cold, impassive; bent on his own ends, and using other men as his instruments.

Miss Howes, left to share with General Jackson the "sociability" of the shed, watched that lantern with faint hope and strong anxiety.
When he had eaten, hungrily and in silence, responding to the mildly ironical sociability of his fellows with a brevity which only his soft voice saved from bruskness, he unrolled his new bed and lay down with not a thought for the part he was playing. He heard with absolute indifference Weary's remark outside, that "Cadwolloper's about all in; day-herding's too strenuous for him."
One could not hope for a better either from a military or from a social point of view. He was ability, wit, and sociability combined. Those were great days. But to continue the reproduction of the letter quoted above: "I am attached to B Company, commanded by Captain Andrews, and I have been appointed by him to command the seventh platoon.
He accepts the doctrine that men are formed by laws, but holds that they are by nature good, and that laws, by establishing a division of the products of nature, broke up the sociability of men, and that all political and moral evils are the result of private property.
