"If I had money to spend, I would buy some [pictures] and take them back.  Mr. Leverett says it would do them good -- not the pictures, but the Bangor folks.  He thinks everything of the French, too, and says we don't make nearly enough of them. I couldn't help telling them the other day that at any rate they make enough of themselves. "  
Excerpted from "A Bundle of Letters"
by Henry James (1843-1916)
