trace their lineage back through centuries。

And you will hurl mine at every individual in the American nation;
saying:

〃And you must have a pretty hard time trying to find out who your fathers
were。〃  They will merely smile indifferently; and not feel hurt; because
they haven't any difficulty in finding their fathers。

Do you get the idea?  The whole harm in the anecdotes is in the point;
you see; and when we swap them around that way; they haven't any。

That settles it perfectly and beautifully; and I am glad I thought of it。
I am very glad indeed; M。 Bourget; for it was just that little wee thing
that caused the whole difficulty and made you dictate the Reply; and your
amanuensis call me all those hard names which the magazines dislike so。
And I did it all in fun; too; trying to cap your funny anecdote with
another oneon the give…and…take principle; you knowwhich is American。
I didn't know that with the French it was all give and no take; and you
didn't tell me。  But now that I have made everything comfortable again;
and fixed both anecdotes so they can never have any point any more; I
know you will forgive me。
