He made the nequaintance of people of all ranks and came to the conclusion that mankind's composed exclusively of knaves and fools. In society of every kind, polite and otherwise, it was appearances that counted, not reality, decided Gil and auccess went to the crafty and the plausible. Doctors are ignorant, lawyers are thieving, churchmen are hypocrites, statesmen are parasites, crown-- ed heads are only figure heads. The King of Spain frivolled away his time retailing malic ous gossip, leaving his affairs entirely to his unscrupulous politicians. Small wonder that Gil's constitutional honesty was© corrupted in such an atmos phere, and that he used his native. 'shrewtloss and inter ligence for unworthy ends.
