Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that. ↗

Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything. ↗

— Jane Austen
