The English are so nice by D.H.Lawrence ================================= The English are so nice so awfully nice they are the nicest people in the world. And whats more, theyre very nice about being nice about your being nice as well! If youre not nice they soon make you feel it. Americans and French and Germans and so on theyre all very well but theyre not really nice, you know. Theyre not nice in our sense of the word, are they now? Thats why one doesnt have to take them seriously. We must be nice to them, of course, of course, naturally. But it doesnt really matter what you say to them, they dont really understand you can just say anything to them: be nice, you know, just nice but you must never take them seriously, they wouldnt understand, just be nice, you know! Oh, fairly nice, not too nice of course, they take advantage but nice enough, just nice enough to let them feel theyre not quite as nice as they might be.
