Which Reminds Me

With some historians it has become habitual to criticize the Victorian era as being too repressive and tight-lipped about various subjects, as if we should just all have loose lips and talk about whatever, when actually people of the 19th century were well educated for their time and sometimes very articulate about some things that are rarely mentioned anymore, such as the beautiful scenery, while some people nowadays do not seem to know when to keep their big fat mouths shut on other topics that are none of their concern because really nothing they say matters in the whole scheme of things. Many words, even an onslaught of Sknickerisms, will not make you one inch taller. It just makes us weary of your constant grandstanding.
