But I know that you at any rate have taken the affair as a sign of modesty and simplicity and a mind un-debased and unsophisticated, even if the others referred it to ignorance or bad training or idiocy. Excessive boldness in such matters is not far off audacity and shamelessness. May I never make such a slip, or, if I do, may I happen on some lucky phrase!
