Disliked Egotism.

"What’s the matter with you?” asked his wife. “I’m feeling lonely," was the reply. "Don’t you like this town?” “I don’t like this earth.” “What’s the objection to It?’ “People are too egotistical. If there’s anything I hate it’s egotism. And when I see kings going about confidently and doing things wrong, and diplomats trying all sorts of Insincere tricks with complete effrontery, and lawyers seeking applause for arguing on the wrong side of a case, and everybody displaying utter selfishness without a blush, I am forced to the' conviction that I am the only consistently moral gentleman on this globe. And it makes me feel lonely.”
