talked about anything worth talking about.

I found out by accident, after a while, that some of these men had more than common culture in various directions: one or two had travelled far, and brought home the results of much observation; one or two Лас/ read largely, and with profit; more than one had studied a science; five or six had seen a great deal of the world. It was a youthful mistake to conclude,the men were dull because their general conversation was very dull. The general conversations of English society are dull; it is a national characteristic.
