Conceit, indeed, is the quickest cure for it. When it once begins todawn upon you that you are a good deal cleverer than any one else inthis world, bashfulness becomes shocked and leaves you. When youcan look round a roomful of people and think that each one is a Maillot Leicester City Enfant merechild in intellect compared with yourself you feel no more shy of themthan you would of a select company of magpies or orang-outangs.
Conceit is the finest armor that a man can wear. Upon its smooth,impenetrable surface the puny dagger-thrusts of spite and envy glanceharmlessly aside. Without that breast-plate the sword of talentcannot force its way through the battle of life, for blows have to beborne as well as dealt. I do not, of course, speak of the conceitthat displays itself in an elevated nose and a falsetto voice. Thatis not real conceit--that is only playing at being conceited; likechildren play at being kings and queens and go strutting about withfeathers and Maillot Corinthians long trains. Genuine conceit does not make a manobjectionable. On the contrary, it tends to make him genial,kind-hearted, and simple. He has no need of affectation--he is fartoo well satisfied with his own character; and his pride is toodeep-seated to appear at all on the outside. Careless alike of Maillot Honduras praiseor blame, he can afford to be truthful.

But this in the case of ayoung man is surely right enough. His character is unformed. It isslowly evolving itself out of a chaos of doubt and disbelief. Beforethe growing insight and experience the diffidence recedes. A manrarely carries his shyness past the hobbledehoy period. Even if hisown inward strength does not throw it off, the rubbings of the worldgenerally smooth it down. You scarcely ever meet a really shyman--except in novels or on the stage, where, by the bye, he is muchadmired, especially by the women.
There, in that supernatural land, he appears as a fair-haired andsaintlike young man--fair hair and goodness always go together on thestage. No respectable audience would believe in one without theother. I knew an actor who mislaid his wig once and had Franck Ribery Fotbalové Dres to rush on toplay the hero in his own hair, which was jet-black, and Jordan Oesterle Tröjor the galleryhowled at all his noble sentiments under the impression that he wasthe villain. He--the shy young man--loves the heroine, oh sodevotedly (but only in Inter Milan Dresy asides, for he dare not tell her of it), and heis so noble and unselfish, and speaks in such a low voice, and is sogood to his mother; andlinks:
