It has changed my whole life and my whole outlook on life; and, perhaps, you'd like to hear some impressions that it has made upon me.
The first impression--perhaps the strongest--is a loss of permanent interest in Europe, especially all Europe outside of this Kingdom.
I have never had the illusion that Europe had many things that we needed to learn.

The chief lesson that it has had, in my judgment, is the lesson of the art of living--the comforts and the courtesies of life, the refinements and the pleasures of conversation and of courteous conduct.

The upper classes have this to teach us; and we need and can learn much from them.

But this seems to me all--or practically all.

What we care most for are individual character, individual development, and a fair chance for every human being.
Character, of course, the English have--immense character, colossal character.
