Diary 8: May - December 1940

Item 164

You know what the Americans are like, full of helpfulness bubling with kindness to the stranger, wanting to advertize him & incidentally themselves, justice without, by some special art, being truesome. I believe they really are ? of a man had ? to help than the English or the Scot, tho' perhaps not than you unspoilt countrymen. Here they are aristocratice, saturn, puritanic, intellectual snobs as America goes, but sweetly naive, open & candid by comparison with Oxford or Cambridge, & for all that to me pleasantly democratic. One can talk to ones maidservant if one can afford one—without any doubt about her having the courage to reply—they won't understand —from whom alas I have to buy beer—stealthily; drink—
